Nancy Evars: Interior Designer & CEO of Evars Collective
An interior designer’s guide to hosting in STYLE
Hosting people in your home is one of the most expressive ways to share joy with those you love. Welcome to the 5th episode celebrating hosting with our very special guest, Nancy Evars.
Nancy's story illustrates how personal style extends beyond fashion sensibility - it's the total essence of who you are.
Beginning her career in marketing & PR at Yahoo, Nancy worked in prominent markets including NYC, Denver, and Silicon Valley. While there, she created Yahoo's first blog and launched their influencer marketing initiative.
Sixteen years later, the girl who loved furnishing her Greenwich Village studio pivoted her career to start her own interior design business. Nancy quickly became one of the most sought-after interior designers in San Francisco and beyond. Her entrepreneurial drive led her to create Evars Collective, the first experiential destination for interior designers in the SF Peninsula area. Today, Evars Collective continues to reshape and strengthen relationships within the interior design community.
Nancy naturally draws admiration from near and far. She is a multifaceted storyteller of her own life: CEO, trailblazer, passionate mother and wife, avid traveler, fashion enthusiast, and someone who surrounds herself with wonderful people.
