Chisom Okwulehie, navigating motherhood in 2021, sought additional income to support her family’s expenses in Cliffside Park, New Jersey.
Despite a stable job as an architect at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, where she worked on significant projects like JFK Airport’s renovation, she craved a creative venture that could offer financial benefits.
With her husband Ikenna, an expert in cybersecurity, she launched Juntero, a company dedicated to designing and planning home interiors.
Their venture initially earned $55,000, but as they welcomed more clients, their profits soared to $206,000 in the second year.
The growth exceeded Chisom’s expectations, prompting her to hire freelance designers to manage the increasing demand. This strategy helped Juntero’s profits reach $414,000 by 2023, despite Chisom balancing her career at the Port Authority.
