Evan grew up in a small town outside Boston and wrote this bio in the third person—since we now have that out in the open, let's continue. He began his journey as a designer and front-end engineer before he even hit high school. At the time, he had 50 free hours from AOL, a knockoff Stratocaster guitar, and a need for a website to kickstart his music career. He quickly jumped into teaching himself code and the fantastic design standard of the day, Microsoft Paint. The internet presented itself as an endless place to learn, sparking a lifelong hunger for knowledge and the ability to figure things out.

Life found him continuing to record and perform music. He settled in Connecticut to study design, marketing, and video production—touring and recording during breaks from school. The day after graduation, he moved to New York City to work in the music industry.

The majority of this period was spent at Atlantic Records-owned Fueled By Ramen, where he was the sole in-house designer and engineer. There he worked across all aspects of artist and campaign development—resulting in 20+ gold and platinum albums and singles.

After some time, he moved on from music to start working with brands—leading Complex's brand partnerships design team and specializing in unique brand collaborations across products, events, and branded content.

From there, he took an opportunity to become Head of Design at Vice-owned digital creative agency Carrot (now Virtue Worldwide). He grew a small team from 5 to 25 people while working with a wide range of clients from entertainment to luxury to philanthropy.

Next, he became VP of Brand + Creative at Stash, helping scale the fintech startup from 1 to 5 million customers. He led their in-house agency and studio—a highly talented team of 20 working across strategy, design, copy, social, animation, and video.

He then joined Codecademy as Head of Brand + Creative, overseeing design, copy, production, and content. There he refreshed the brand strategy, rebuilt the creative process, and launched the company’s first brand campaign and TV commercial.

Today, after finishing up a stint as Creative Director at Shopify, Evan is gearing up for the release of his second solo album and figuring out how to shape the future.
