Sales Systems for Printable Success

I’m TaKenya, the founder of Studio117 Creative, where I help small business owners ditch the tech overwhelm and build websites and systems that actually work for them.

With over a decade of experience, I break things down in a way that makes sense, mixing real talk with actionable strategies that leave you feeling confident and in control. My goal? To make sure your website isn’t just good-looking but a tool that drives your business forward.

When I’m not designing or teaching, I’m likely deep into a DIY project or cooking up something delicious—because home is where my heart (and my creativity) thrives, and I share that on my blog KenyaRae.com.
