Hi, I'm Evan Lindsay
Web developer in Chicago specializing in building digital experiences for small businesses and artists.
About Me
Self-taught web developer based in Chicago with a background in performing arts. I found my way to web design and development during the 2020 pandemic and now apply my diverse professional background to creating digital experiences.
My background in inventory management, sales, and the legal cannabis industry taught me how businesses actually operate. This helps me build websites that solve real problems, not just look pretty.
I bring something different to the work: an eye for line and visual composition that comes from my professional performing arts background. My sites balance technical precision with artistic vision.
