Evan Jacoby
Producer, How to L.A.
(he/him)
Hi, I’m Evan! I’m an audio producer and writer here in L.A.
My favorite types of stories make me care about something I didn’t think I’d find important.
I’m producing a new show for LAist Studios: How To LA. It’s all about discovery and exploration and understanding this city.
My favorite things to do here are rockclimb and cook. I also sometimes film things, and I main Ness.
