The Balance is exactly that...all about balance. We are passionate, not only about our jobs as creatives, but about everything outside of them. Be it artists, designers, developers, photographers, or musicians, we all live in that space between creativity and everything else that fuels it.

We started The Balance because we wanted to talk to other creatives who also strive to find the healthy balance between family & work, work & play, and play & creativity. Our hope is that these interviews will give insight and inspire you to find your balance.
