About Evan McCormack

I’m a people-first design leader with 15+ years of experience shaping digital products, design systems, and creative ecosystems across industries—from medical devices and early-stage startups to enterprise SaaS platforms. I’ve built and led high-impact teams, scaled design systems, and delivered cohesive, multi-platform experiences by staying curious, adaptable, and deeply collaborative. My background spans nearly every corner of the creative landscape—UI, brand, industrial design, mobile, web, and physical experiences—which has fueled my systems thinking and cross-disciplinary approach. Today, I’m Design Director for Design Systems at Carta, where I lead the evolution of our Ink Design System to drive quality, consistency, and scale across a complex financial platform.
