Evan has spent the last year becoming an integral part of the graphics team.
Although his strengths are founded in video, he enjoys flowing between all of the Adobe Apps to create something fun and unique for whichever client he gets to work with.
He is obsessed with branding and marketing, and finds fulfillment in providing creative insight, brainstorming, and ultimately watching a project come to fruition.
Evan doesn’t see himself as a “big picture” guy, because even the thought of a frame would feel limiting for how big his ideas get. Most of the time, his ambitions are limited by scale (or the laws of physics).
Outside of work, Evan will be skiing. If there is no snow, he will be golfing, swimming, surfing, or simply laying out in the sun.
