jennifer evans, ceo
born to a family of entrepreneurs, jennifer knew it was inevitable she would create her own company someday.
while studying business entrepreneurship at the university of london and san francisco state university, she worked for four years alongside acclaimed couture designer marta kappl, as her director of development.
seeking high-quality work for the designer's pieces, she moved to new york city to lead the acquisition of couture and tailoring facilities, where she learned the unique processes of creating high-end apparel, and the needs of the workers.
looking to make a difference, jennifer left the fashion industry for a four year experience in the non-profit sector. she worked in international education, in the low income and homeless sectors, where she gained a better understanding of how to address social issues through training and education.
in 2004, jennifer developed a social enterprise program to raise scholarship funds, where she worked as director of development. the program aimed to train garment workers from mass production factories to sew high-end clothing in small volumes, serving independent designers. inundated almost overnight with orders, she quickly setup shop in laguna beach, in a shipping container, and formed the evans group.
in 2006 the company was relocated to downtown los angeles, as the first vertially-integrated development and production house for independent designers. jennifer's efforts continue to be in promoting design and craftsmanship while providing an unmatched opportunity for those with a desire to succeed.
