Tanner Evans

Designer focused on CMF, designing for manufacturing, flat-packability, and repairability built in from the start. I am drawn to lighting, furniture, hardware, and exhibit design. The spaces where physical form and human experience meet. My work consistently asks: how does this get made, how does it last, and how does it come apart when it's done? Flat-packability, repairability, and material choices aren't constraints to me, they are how a design will stand apart.

Currently I am an Associate Designer at Shwood Eyewear, where I design and develop retail display systems. From modeling in SolidWorks and prototyping in-house, I push every solution towards efficiency within production. My background spans CNC programming, 3D printing, mold making, laser cutting, and hands-on fabrication, which means I design with the shop floor in mind from the first sketch.

Portland-based. Usually found on my bicycle, in the sauna, or hosting dinner.
