About Creative Stem Solutions
About Me
Joanne Werner
Founder | Systems Strategist | Fractional Tech Partner
“Rebuilding connection through exploration, expression, and empowerment.”
I’ve spent the last 15 years bridging the gap between big-picture strategy and practical execution in fast-moving, tech-heavy environments. Today, I use that experience to help small and growing businesses build systems that actually serve them.
I founded Creative STEM Solutions after seeing too many teams burned out by tool sprawl, tangled workflows, and projects that never quite landed. I knew there had to be a better way — one that’s technically sound, people-centered, and custom-fit for the work you actually do.
Why It Started
Creative STEM Solutions wasn’t born out of a business plan — it was born out of necessity. I was tired of broken systems. Tired of duct-taped systems. Tired of solving the same problems across three different fronts: at work, at home, and in trying to explain history to...anyone.
So I started building better systems. Creative STEM Solutions began as a way to fix the friction in general business and system workflows, but it’s grown into something more:
💡 A fractional CTO for people who need clarity, not complexity.
🛠️ A bridge between tools and actual outcomes.
🧠 A sandbox for smarter systems that work with you — not against you.
Now it lives inside the Creative STEM Ecosystem Hub alongside YapYap & Howler and The Humanity of STEM, because I’ve learned that the problems we face on all those fronts aren’t isolated. They’re connected.
So the solutions should be too.
What I Bring to the Table
Everything I’ve learned — through experience, education, and solving real-world problems — comes together to serve your business and to help you grow.
- Fractional Tech Leadership without the corporate overhead
- Decades of experience in workflow automation, process mapping, and systems strategy
- Deep familiarity with tools like monday.com, Atlassian, QuickBooks, Salesforce, Hexure, and more
- Project rescue expertise — I specialize in getting things unstuck and finished well
Whether I’m mapping integrations, leading full-cycle builds, or offering guidance as your “CTO in a Box,” I bring structure, clarity, and a calm presence to even the messiest tech challenges.
