I'm Evan โ€“ the designer with the magic touch.

Hi, Iโ€™m Evan ๐Ÿ‘‹

Iโ€™m a Senior Product Designer based in Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ, designing across fintech, AI, gaming, blockchain, and consumer products.

I currently lead design at Rank, a YC-backed fintech. Before that, I led product design for Hyper at Metaverse Magna, shaping a social gaming platform with 100,000+ active users, and served as the Founding Product Designer at Barrel, an AI-powered operations platform.

I care about clarity, craft, and character. My work sits at the intersection of product thinking, visual design, systems, and the small details that make digital experiences feel alive.

My process usually starts with noticing. I pay attention to where users hesitate, where expectations break, where the interface feels unclear, and where the product is assuming too much. From there, I map the logic, separate the concerns, explore different directions, and design at the right level of fidelity for the decision in front of me.

I try not to stop at the first good answer. I like to explore range before going deep, then refine the strongest direction until it feels obvious, calm, and easy to use. The goal is not just to meet the standard people expect from great software, but to push past it with care and intention.

AI has become one of my creative superpowers ๐Ÿง . I use it to think faster, explore wider, prototype better, and move from idea to execution with more focus. But I donโ€™t treat AI output as final. I create fast, then edit slowly. Taste, judgment, and hands-on refinement still shape the final work.

Outside work, Iโ€™m usually hanging out with friends, playing CODM ๐ŸŽฎ, taking photos ๐Ÿ“ธ, or exploring creative ideas beyond Figma.

Come explore with me ๐Ÿฅ‚.

My values & approach

  1. 01

    Start with the logic

    I design from how the product should behave: the userโ€™s goal, the business goal, and the edge cases, before I touch a screen. Clear thinking leads, and the finish follows.

  2. 02

    Turn messy into clear

    Iโ€™m strongest where the logic is tangled: lots of states, rules, and edge cases. My job is to make that feel effortless to move through, simple, never shallow.

  3. 03

    Taste is the edge

    Anyone can generate a polished screen now. The real value is judgment: knowing what to keep, cut, and sharpen. I create fast with AI, then edit slowly, so the work keeps a point of view.

  4. 04

    Build it with the team

    I bring product, engineering, and stakeholders in early, and design in systems that scale, because the best products get decided together and built to last, not handed off and hoped for.
