For more than 40 years, Evergreen Creative has helped bring big ideas into the real world—through custom fabrication and scenic builds that are meant to be seen, experienced, and remembered.
Across four decades, our work has grown to include exhibits, museum-style builds, themed environments, branded experiences, and custom architectural features—all grounded in the same hands-on mindset we started with: craft it right, solve the hard parts, and take pride in the final result.
If you’re exploring partners for a new build, we’d love to learn what you’re working on. Who knows - maybe your next project will be a part of our future timeline!
1985 | HELLO WORLD
Evergreen Creative began in 1985 when founder Phil Hinz set out as a self-starter in the custom fabrication world, focused on turning designs into real, high-quality builds. Those early years established Evergreen’s hands-on identity: a shop built around craftsmanship, pride in the final product, and the satisfaction of creating things that hadn’t existed before.
Not long into the company’s life, Cheryl Anderson joined Evergreen Creative as co-owner, bringing a leadership presence that helped guide the business through its early growth. The partnership formed a natural balance: Phil would remain connected to fabrication and problem-solving on the build side, while Cheryl would tackle the big-picture needs like sales, finances, and management.
