Evan Clabots

Throughout his career, he has worked as a product designer, creative director, entrepreneur, university professor, and consultant. A veritable Renaissance man, Clabots has an unsurprisingly personal and unique way of changing the world. Apart from a keen eye for design and intuition, he also applies a complex thought process in all of his work, pivoting around the concept of design as a tool for business. As an entrepreneur, Clabots pairs his creativity and ingenuity with strong reasoning. As a designer, he values the quest for perfection as well as the beauty of the imperfections that create an emotional connection between the user and a product. His work as Chief Design Officer at OTHR contributed to transforming the brand he co-founded into the award-winning company it is today.
