We are...

impermanentmedia was founded by Leslie Stewart in 1997 as a web design and development studio. In 2000, we expanded to include software and computer training services in response to frequent requests from our clients. We offer 1:1 on-site and real-time, online training sessions.

Leslie is the principal instructor, and is an Adobe Certified Instructor in Flash CS3/8, Dreamweaver CS3/8, and Contribute 4, and a CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer. She has been teaching for more than 18 years, specializing in software/computer training since 2000. In addition to impermanentmedia's clients, Leslie has taught HTML, CSS, Flash, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, and GoLive classes for Training Connection, Computer Training Source, and Mac University in Chicago, IL. She has also been a freelance video and web design instructor for Street-Level Youth Media, Girls Get Digital, and Alternative Schools Network, all of whom provide media arts programs to Chicago-area youth. Leslie is currently a contract Flash and Dreamweaver instructor for Luminous Works in Seattle, WA, and an on-site instructor for Training Connection in Chicago, IL.

Leslie has been a freelance web designer/developer since 1997, and has done web, training, and video editing work for clients such as ExuberantAnimal.com, Kevin Banna Photography, OfficeMax, The House Hunt, LLC, Marcy-Newberry Association, Neighbor 360, Cucina Bella Restaurants, and Caterpillar.com.
