I am a graphics nerd, and technology enthuse. So much so, that I have even started two businesses doing just that. iMarket Media and Design, LLC was launched March 2017 as a word of mouth graphics and marketing agency. I have not done any paid advertising, however I have been staying busy creating websites, t-shirt designs, logos, and video productions well before starting the company.
Let Me STEAM is the second venture that I currently have with my three loving sisters. Let Me STEAM is a 501(c) nonprofit that offers FREE STEM education to school aged children to get them just as excited about STEM as I am. This company was started in August 2020 during a pandemic. As an educator, I saw a need for students to be introduced to STEM education at a much younger age in an informal setting, so they feel comfortable to explore and make mistakes, discovering Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. So when these topics are taught in school, students have a familiarity with the subject and increase the possibilities for them to advance into a STEM career. Check out letmesteam.org as this is also a page that I designed and maintain.
I even started a photo booth business with my friends, called Paw Prints. However, this was the officially the second business I had started, but we had to dissolve the business just as the pandemic hit. It was a lot of fun designing the graphics and attending all of the events that we booked.
That's a little bit about me, I cannot wait to meet you. Please feel free to contact me via email to learn even more: cshester08@gmail.com
