Evan Elkowitz is a New York stylist and fixture in Cuba’s underground fashion and design scene. After many years as a stay-at-home mom, she began a career as a stylist. She ventured to Cuba for the first time in December 2017 and styled her first photoshoot in Havana. Since then she founded the first Fashion & Arts tour to Havana with the goal of collectivizing her knowledge in order to give an insider's look into the unexpected creative world of Cuban design. She also loves salsa and Cuban music in general!
Patrick Oppmann, CNN's Havana bureau chief, talks to Startup Cuba about living in Cuba as an American journalist.
The Thomas Nickles Project, founded by Kristen Thomas and John Nickles, features Cuban art in New York City.
As an entrepreneur and innovator, he has developed other focuses throughout his life that deviate from the world of sports.
