STEM Crew Magazine
Founded by Dr. Tiffani Teachey
STEM Education · Media · Youth Inspiration
STEM Crew Magazine was created to introduce young people, parents, and educators to the possibilities available through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The publication celebrates STEM professionals, makes complex subjects feel accessible, provides useful resources, and helps the next generation imagine themselves pursuing STEM careers.
The challenge
A strong idea needed a publication people could recognize and trust.
Create consistency
Every edition needed its own personality while remaining unmistakably part of the STEM Crew Magazine family.
Honor each story
Every cover needed to communicate the featured professional’s accomplishments, expertise, and presence.
Crystal’s role
Cover designer from the very beginning.
Dr. Crystal Jordan has been part of the STEM Crew Magazine journey since its inaugural Fall 2023 edition.
She provided publishing guidance and creative support for the launch and designed the first cover. From that inaugural issue forward, Crystal designed every STEM Crew Magazine cover, helping the publication maintain a professional and recognizable visual identity as it continued to grow.
Her role was never limited to one launch design. Crystal became the creative professional responsible for visually introducing each featured STEM leader and every new edition.
