How Bark got its ridiculous name.

The name Bark Creative is the result of a complete creative block when it came to naming the studio. White page syndrome. Blank paper. I looked down at my dogs and there, staring at me with his ugly "east/west" eyes (read: Marty Feldman), was my rescue Boston Terrier, Felix. Since from chaos comes order and from ugliness came beauty in the googly eyes of my buddy Felix, naming the studio after him seemed fitting. And Bark it became.

RIP, little buddy...your legacy lives on.

Once upon a time

(or how it all started...)

Bark! Creative Solutions was founded in 2002 by Nikki Scaplen, driven by the desire to reach out and help small to mid-sized businesses, like the ones many of her friends were starting at the time. It was clear there was a need for good design and creative & marketing assistance that was unavailable to them or out of their reach.
