Herman Zimmerman has been with Star Trek since Star Trek: The Next Generation, working on The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Enterprise and six of the eleven Star Trek movies and although he’s now “officially retired,” he still keeps  his hand in, working as a visual consultant to architects.

Although he didn’t work on the original series, Zimmerman was a fan of the show when they were first airing. “I was working as an art director on the soap opera The Days of our Lives back in 1966,” he said, “and watched all the old Star Trek shows when they were running and thought they were the best thing on television, never thinking I would work on it.”
