Our Founder
I’m Carmen Esteves — Creative Director, Professor, and Founder of The Esteves Creative Group and Nxt Gen Creators™.
Meet Carmen
I believe real change starts when students stop waiting to “be ready” and start building now.
After visiting schools across the country, I noticed something missing — programs that not only inspire for a moment, but equip for a lifetime.
That’s why I built Nxt Gen Creators™ — to prepare the next generation to lead from identity, not circumstance.
We merge creativity, technology, and purpose to teach students how to build their digital brand, protect their name, and prepare for real-world influence — before opportunity arrives.
