Welcome to the heart of manufacturing excellence, where dedication, innovation, and expertise converge under one name—EVelop.

Through unwavering commitment and a lifetime love affair with manufacturing, Stacey propels EVelop into the limelight as a powerhouse of problem-solving and industry advancement.
The Genesis of a Manufacturing Advocate: Stacey’s Inspirational Journey
From the tender age of three, Stacey's journey was intertwined with the world of manufacturing. Shaped by the experiences and insights of her father, a former AT&T employee, Stacey’s formative years were built around resilience and curiosity. Her father's workplace injury may have limited his physical capabilities, but it ignited a fire in Stacey—a desire to learn, understand, and conquer the complexities of machinery and engineering.
Her early education wasn't just theoretical; it was hands-on. From car brake repairs to sophisticated sound system upgrades, her versatile skill set was already burgeoning. Stacey's philosophy was simple: See a problem, get it done. This pragmatic approach was the foundation for her pursuit of a career in engineering—a path that would allow her to tinker, innovate, and ultimately, transform.
Stepping into the Manufacturing World: A Career Forged in Expertise
Upon graduating, Stacey chose the dynamic world of manufacturing over the confines of laboratory research. With a spirited love for practical knowledge, she broke gender stereotypes by entering manufacturing environments seldom ventured by 21-year-old women. Her determination and persistence led her to carve a niche at Owens Corning Fiberglass, where she successfully managed vital commercial installation lines and orchestrated project completions with finesse.

She managed a $750K Learning & Development budget with a 99%+ accuracy rate in logistics and operations, driving efficiency across the organization.
During her tenure at Avient (formerly PolyOne), Stacey developed an interactive cash flow model for the vinyl division, generating $1.2M in incremental revenue within nine months. Leveraging her Lean Six Sigma Black Belt expertise, she identified and implemented critical process improvements to enhance operations.
In a Department of Defense SBIR Phase I Project, Stacey transitioned an in-person course on metal additive manufacturing into an engaging, asynchronous online program. Her innovative approach played a pivotal role in securing Phase II funding.
