Korbin Evans

Digital Media

Korbin Evans is a KAPS graduate of 2018, and after a gap year where he took time to find himself, he thought to follow a path of creativity starting with the field of video games.

Korbin now dedicates most of his free time working towards his creative endeavors of designing both Comic Books and Storyboard animations for his future endeavors as a lead director of his own studio.

Seeing an opportunity to help provide an atmosphere that directly had helped him in return, he felt it only natural to work here, at a place he truly believes in.
