After exploring several options for our work space and weighing the advantages and disadvantages of each, we decided that the right move for Slagle Design was to add onto our home. In October 2013 we broke ground on our new studio space and in four short months, Slagle Design moved into a dedicated workspace, allowing 9 to 5 client access and the perfect environment for work, collaboration and creativity. Many thanks go out to the amazing designers and builders at Finishline Building for making our dream become a reality.

Hey Gang, the holiday season is upon us and Black Friday is only a few days away.

Alliance Data Aspire Card Animation
Here's a recent team-up with Spacejunk Media and their client, Alliance Data, promote the features and benefits of their Aspire credit cards. Rather than explain it with a list of facts and bullet points, we decided to tell a story.
I love working with my partners at Spacejunk Media! They do amazing work! They are very collaborative and they truly appreciate what their partners bring to the table. Go team!
