👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Evans is a founder, principal designer-developer, and interactive experience specialist with over a decade of practice crafting museum exhibits, interpretive design, and custom interactive media from Saint Paul, Minnesota. He blends hands-on making—wiring, coding, and even building a scratch-built multi-touch table—with strategic interpretive planning to ensure technology enhances rather than distracts. Chris leads teams and projects end-to-end, from concept and prototype through installation, while keeping accessibility, budgets, and low maintenance in mind. His background in anthropology and computer science informs a human-centered approach that prioritizes message before medium and creates moments that elicit genuine emotional responses. As an adjunct professor he’s skilled at translating technical concepts for designers and nontechnical stakeholders, helping teams collaborate more productively. Calm under pressure and detail-oriented, he consistently delivers immersive, accessible exhibits that surprise and engage broad audiences.
