Evalina Patiño



I am a New York based Project Manager specializing in Brand Collaborations and E-Commerce Product Launches. I am currently at Tom Sachs Studio where I lead projects within  our design department that encompass retail activations, footwear + apparel design, and  furniture production. I am passionate about bringing these projects to life through creative operations strategizing, collaboration term negotiating, production planning, and logistics optimization.


My diverse background in art direction, spatial + industrial design, and exhibition planning, allows me to easily take on any project brief and skilled at communicating with different types of creative  teams.


I hold a BFA in Industrial/Product Design from the Parsons School of Design where I graduated with Academic and  Departmental Honors and was able to participate in collaborative projects with the NYC DOT and Godiva.
