Jessi Gurr<\/h2>\n<\/div>\nJessi\u2019s love for website development started back in 1993, when at the age of 12 she learned HTML and secured her first dot-com. Remember Geocities, black backgrounds, lime green text, and the running dog .gif? Man, those were the days…<\/p>\n
Jessi spent her late teenage years working on freelance website projects, and in college she held a part-time position as the webmaster for the student-run radio station.<\/p>\n
After graduating from the University of Minnesota, Morris in 2005, Jessi started a small freelance agency, Iceberg Web Design as a way to advance her career, drive her passion for website development, and help other small business owners succeed by creating a professional online appearance. The business grew slowly until 2015, when Jessi took the leap to grow her business from having just one part-time employee to a full staff of 7 full-time developers, sales staff, and a project manager. Today, Iceberg Web Design is a leading website development firm in Minneapolis, Minnesota.<\/p>\n
