As the creative visionary behind Evantine Design, Brian Kappra’s passion for storytelling is evident in every aspect of his design firm. He is the master of installing breathtaking—and often logistically ambitious—environments, despite the challenging realities of event production. With over three decades in the special event industry, Brian’s signature designs are custom-crafted with imaginative elements, theatrical impact and proprietary, artistic details. It’s no wonder that his event interiors attract and inspire an enviable roster of A-list clientele, from respected corporations and charitable organizations, to the area’s most influential tastemakers and society hosts. Brian is also a generous contributor to charitable causes — donating time, talent, and resources to the Abramson Cancer Center, MANNA, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, amfAR, The Transplant Foundation, Project HOME, the Foundation for Breast & Prostate Health, as well as countless others. When he’s not designing show-stopping events, you can find Brian watching the sunset from the dock at his New Jersey lake house, zip-lining through the tree tops in Costa Rica, or holding his nieces’ hands as they stroll around Disney World.
