ABOUT

A life in progress.

William Erik Evans is an author, speaker, creative director, storyteller, and lifelong maker.

For more than two decades, his work has lived at the intersection of creativity, design, storytelling, technology, and transformation.

Along the way, he has worked with organizations including Pixar, Facebook, Cisco, Duarte, Automox, and many others , building stories, brands, presentations, experiences, and ideas designed to help people understand something more clearly.

But The Story Workshop grew out of a larger question.

What happens when creativity becomes a way of living?

Not simply a tool for making things.

A tool for navigating uncertainty.

For understanding who we are.

For finding possibility when the map disappears.

For reinventing ourselves when the story we have been living no longer fits.

Erik founded The Story Workshop to explore those questions through writing, speaking, workshops, art, storytelling, and experimentation.

He is the author of A Field Guide to Creativity: Strategies for Thriving in Any Creative Era, a book about the mindsets and practices that help us remain creative through change.

Let’s make something meaningful.

Whether you’re looking for a speaker, a workshop, a creative partner, or simply want to start a conversation, I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
