A LITTLE ABOUT ME

One person, invested from the first conversation onward.

Behind every business is a person with a story. The ideas, risks, and heart that most people never see. That's why I started 17C.

I get to know you, understand what makes your business unique, and create a website that shares your story.

You'll work directly with me from start to finish, with ongoing support after launch.

A little more about my story

Since my first mission trip at 13, I've loved finding ways to help others grow and succeed.

I once started a small business called . The business is no longer around, but that idea has stayed with me.

It shapes how I work: personal collaboration, lasting relationships, and a website that feels unmistakably yours.

But what about the name 17C?

Well, I’m glad you asked.

There’s a story behind that one too.
