Owner Tess Beebe Olten has decades of experience in both traditional and new media.
Sparkstone Media is a full service digital media design and production studio operating on a highly streamlined, low-overhead business model—which gives my customers the highest value at the lowest cost.

​Whether your project is based in print or on the Web; for promotional, commercial, compliance, or instructional purposes; and however small the budget, I can customize a communications plan just for you! Contact me today for a no-cost consultation and estimate.

Sparkstone Media does pro bono work for grassroots nonprofits and good causes when resources permit. Rest assured that my pro bono work meets the same high quality standards as the work that I do for my paying customers. I seek partnerships with local and regional nonprofits and public service agencies and am available as a community technology consultant.
