Derek A.D. Wainwright

Derek A.D. Wainwright is the author of practical, easy-to-follow technical guides focused on design and 3D modeling software. His step-by-step books help beginners and hobbyists move from “Where do I click?” to creating finished projects with confidence.

Derek believes complicated software becomes much easier to learn when it is explained in plain language, one clear step at a time. His books emphasize hands-on practice, real examples, and practical workflows—without overwhelming readers with unnecessary jargon or endless menus.

His guides are written for complete beginners, self-taught makers, hobbyists, and anyone returning to a software tool after time away. Each book is designed to help readers follow along at their own computer, understand what they are doing, and build useful skills through practical projects.

When he isn't writing, Derek is testing software, refining workflows, and finding clearer ways to explain the tools and techniques that help readers create with confidence.
