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. Nikki has over 18 years of experience in design and marketing communications and has carried titles of Art Director and Creative Director with award winning agencies. She comes to the table with extensive experience in branding, advertising, corporate identity, marketing collateral, direct mail campaigns, interactive campaigns and web design — everything a business needs to market itself to its fullest potential. Her work has appeared both nationally & internationally in a variety of industries.
