Founder
The Hand Behind It

Every collection has a point of view. This one is carried by many hands — partners in every venture, and a wife whose belief holds it all together.

The Founder
Derek Miller

Designer. Entrepreneur. Given one gift and no instructions for it — the ability to make things beautiful. Derek moves between business, technology, and art the way most people move between rooms, carrying more ideas than one lifetime will ever allow. What he loves is simple: creating things, growing them, and telling the stories they leave behind.

The Reserve is his sketchbook — every venture a page, and none of them written alone.
