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.

If you’ve ever been to our website or interacted with us before, you may notice something—no, everything—is different! After 20 years of doing business as T&S, we are now Backslash Creative! This change came for multiple reasons, all good, so let’s get into the nitty-gritty.

In the whirlwind of modern work culture, where deadlines, meetings, and to-do lists seem to stretch endlessly, the concept of Fun Fridays might sound like a luxury or an extravagant indulgence. After all, when every minute counts and productivity is the buzzword, how can a dedicated day for fun be justified?

I’m Brooklyn Learned, the newest team member here at T&S, at least for now. I’m the Digital Content Creator, aka Champion Wordsmith. No, I’m not from New York. I was born and raised in Oklahoma City. Brace yourself as I introduce myself to you further by revealing the following interesting facts.
