Nancy got the decorating bug in her 20’s when she moved into a Greenwich Village apartment where most of her paycheck was spent furnishing her fifth floor walk up studio space. Nancy spent more than 13 years practicing public relations and marketing in NYC, Denver, and Silicon Valley before changing careers once she and her husband started remodeling their first home together.

That remodel, along with rearranging every room she walked into, inspired Nancy to pivot and start her own interior design business in 2006, followed by the opening of Evars + Anderson in 2011. After spending almost a decade growing her interior design business into a highly sought-after firm in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, Nancy’s entrepreneurial spirit reemerged. In 2020, after noticing a lack of resources for the design community south of San Francisco, Nancy saw an opportunity and conceived Evars Collective as a multi-line, artisanal showroom. 

Most days you can find Nancy still rearranging her own home, visiting her favorite locally owned boutiques, planning the next showroom event, connecting with the creatives behind her favorite brands, or spending time with her husband and three teenagers. 

Tastemaker and CEO, Nancy Evars

From her trendsetting yet timeless interiors to opening the first boutique showroom on the Peninsula, Nancy finds joy in trailblazing and inspiring others through beautiful design, effortlessly chic style and flawless entertaining.
