Evan Zodl
I have been folding paper and designing my own origami models for over ten years. In an effort to share my passion with the world, I began making instructional origami videos on YouTube in 2008. Since that time, I have taught origami to millions of people around the world. I am currently working on my first origami book featuring many of my original designs. More of my work can be found on my YouTube channel and Flickr photostream.Publications
