For over 40 years, Evergreen Creative has helped Minnesota and Upper Midwest teams bring big ideas into the real world. From custom fabrication and scenic builds to experiential theming, museum exhibits, and branded environments, we build high-quality work designed to be seen—and built to last—serving Minneapolis–St. Paul, Greater Minnesota, and the Midwest.
1985 | HELLO, MINNESOTA!
Evergreen Creative started in 1985 when founder Phil Hinz launched a hands-on custom fabrication shop rooted in craftsmanship and pride in the final build. From the beginning, our identity was clear: practical problem-solving, quality materials, and work made to perform in real-world environments across Minnesota and the Midwest.
Not long after, Cheryl Anderson joined as co-owner, strengthening Evergreen’s leadership and helping guide early growth. Together, the partnership balanced build-floor expertise with the big-picture needs of operations—sales, finance, and management—creating the foundation for a long-term Minnesota fabrication partner.
