We are
wildcard people.

noun, plural. adaptable problem-solvers who step into ambiguity, figure out what’s needed, and make it happen with purpose.

The Backflip Group started with two ambitious problem-solvers who didn't always think alike—and that's what made it work. We approached challenges differently, respected each other deeply, and had the most fun when we were building something real. Spitballing, pushing each other’s thinking, laughing—that energy still drives how we work: sharp ideas, healthy tension, and zero tolerance for vague strategy.

We work alongside our clients—asking hard questions, shaping the work together, and staying in it until it lands.
