Originally from Tupelo, Mississippi, Evans is passionate about staying active, whether that means playing tennis, running with her dog, or practicing yoga. When she’s not on the go, she enjoys traveling, needlepointing, or catching a good tennis match.

As a child, she dreamed of becoming an astronaut or a racecar driver. Though her path shifted toward design, she still brings that same sense of adventure and curiosity to her work. Friends describe her as “busy,” always juggling projects and hobbies with enthusiasm. Guided by her life philosophy, Festina lente—“be quick but don’t hurry”—she’s learned to embrace each experience fully while staying focused on what’s in front of her.

If she could have a superpower, it would definitely be teleportation—no more layovers or airport security lines! She finds joy in supporting others and loves starting her day in the calmness of early mornings. On weekends, she volunteers with Alzheimer’s Arkansas, giving back to her community. Her advice to aspiring designers? “Never stop asking questions.”
