From The Ground Up
Ever wonder how a successful business comes to life from the ground up? How about a business within a business? Just ask Brad Jones and Scott Blevins, friends and co-founders of Carefully Crafted & the creators of Taffy Tree.
From High School Friends to Company Co-Founders
Brad and Scott met in high school and quickly became friends, bonding over a shared love of gaming and web design. By 2004, they launched their first web-based game, Battle Magica (long before the dawn of Facebook games)! They built a complex RPG where players could battle, shop, sell, explore, and earn game currency—all while they continued to scale the game to accommodate over 1,000 players.
After Battle Magica, Brad forged a path in marketing and graphic design while Scott mastered tech development. After years spent leveling up in their respective careers, they joined forces once again and reunited as co-founders, creating their digital agency Carefully Crafted in 2022.
The Birth of Taffy Tree
A turning point came with creating Taffy Tree, a software platform initially intended to help manage Carefully Crafted’s many projects. With AI-enhanced features like proposal creation and automated task management, Taffy Tree completely revolutionized workflow, paving the way for Carefully Crafted to rapidly expand in a incredibly short amount of time.
