Hi, I'm Derek Iversen, a writer, editor, and producer specializing in kids' animation. I've had the pleasure of writing over 100 produced television episodes, including 56 episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants, along with a variety of animated programs, apps, plays, sketches, and themed entertainment. Aside from animation, I also enjoy writing screenplays, sketch comedy, and political satire. When I'm not working, I love exploring my environmentalist side through bicycle adventures and composing microsongs. I strive to create content that's fun, imaginative, and meaningful across age groups.
