Lex Evan is the creative force behind Lexington Bakes, an eco-conscious luxury bakeshop that is redefining what it means to indulge. With a 20-year career leading brand strategy and design for global giants like Johnson & Johnson, Aveeno, and Clean & Clear, Lex has applied his sharp eye for detail and 15 years of self-taught pastry expertise to build a brand rooted in Radical Ingredient Transparency®. Every treat is crafted with No Naughty Ingredients®—meaning no artificial flavors, preservatives, corn syrups, or gums—and proudly lists the specific high-quality partners used, from Raaka Chocolate to Straus Family Creamery.
Lex identifies as Queer and Non-binary and is deeply committed to using his platform to uplift women and gender-minority leaders. His "wildly audacious" approach has taken Lexington Bakes from a visionary idea to an award-winning brand found in premier retailers like Erewhon. By combining a luxury aesthetic with a 1% for the Planet commitment, Lex is proving that a bakeshop can be both high-fashion and high-integrity.
