Running a business while being a mom to three boys sounds like a juggling act—and it often feels that way! But over the years, I’ve learned that it’s possible to manage both, and even enjoy the process, with a little flexibility, a lot of planning, and the right mindset. Here’s a peek into how I navigate life as both a business owner and a mom to three amazing (and busy!) boys: Josh, Jackson, and Jacob.

We’re excited to announce that Backslash Creative has been featured on SocialAppsHQ’s list of the Best Web Designers in Oklahoma! It’s an honor to be recognized alongside some fantastic design agencies in the state.

When I founded this agency in 2003, I had no idea where it would lead. Originally known as T&S Web Design, we have since rebranded twice, most recently becoming Backslash Creative in 2023. Over the years, our focus has expanded, our team has grown, and our vision has evolved, but our core values have remained constant. We’ve always been about people—our clients, our team, and our community—and we’ve worked hard to build a company that reflects that commitment.

At Backslash Creative, we’re always looking to stay ahead of the curve and bring the latest insights back to our clients. That’s why we’ve been hitting the road, attending key events and conferences.

This blog is different than normal, at least for us. You may or may not have noticed, but this year has been a bit crazy for Leann and me personally. If that doesn’t interest you, feel free to skip this particular blog. But if you’re interested in a short personal update and some business-related reflections, feel free to read on.

At Backslash Creative, we’re not just about pixels and print; we’re a blend of personalities as vibrant and varied as the designs we create. In fact, balance, teamwork, and relationships are three of our six core values. Each of our team members has their own quirky characteristics, personal passions, and even idiosyncratic interests.

Balance isn’t just a concept at Backslash Creative; it’s a part of how we live and work daily. It’s understanding that keeping a healthy work-life balance is a continuous journey, and it requires us to be flexible and aware, both as individuals and as a team.
