Crispin Korschen is our creative force. Her mad head dreamed up barkingmad about five years ago. She spends half her time at her easel with a tea cup in one hand, and paintbrush in the other creating images for her galleries and the ever expanding barkingmad range. The other half of the time she spends working out how to get the barkingmad goodies out into the world. The few moments in between she tries to look after her children, read the odd book, watch movies and enjoy the roses in her garden.
If she could choose to be a dog she would of course come back as "mad " (a staffordshire bull terrier).

Lucy Meek is barkingmad's sales woman extraordanaire. She looks after all our wonderful retailers in New Zealand and Australia. She's the one popping into the shops making sure that barkingmad is out there for you all to find. Lucy is the ever cheery face at all our trade shows, even at the end of the day. And as the queen of the cliche, she's the girl who keeps us all highly amused with her daily e mails. Lucy lives in Auckland (we don't hold it against her) with her own mad dog " pipi ", as well as her gorgeous children and husband.
If Lucy woke up one day with a waggy tail, you could be sure she'd nearly wag it off.
If you are wanting to know about barkingmad wholesale, contact Lucy on lucy.m@clear.net.nz
Toni Schreuder keeps the barkingmad office ship- shape (and where would we be without her). She dispatches your orders on time, makes sure there actually are barkingmad goodies in the office for you to order, answers all the e mails, keeps a track of the money and has even been known to take software manuals into the bath for a little relaxing reading. All of this is done while still looking gorgeous and managing to have a huge smile on her face.
We like to think If Toni morphed into a dog one day, it would be the cutest one in the petshop that looked up at you with those big eyes begging you to take it home.
To get hold of the barkingmad office contact Toni at barking.mad@paradise.net.nz
Bill Davies is our production man. Bill can solve any problem thrown at him............actually Bill chews up and spits out problems just for the fun of it and the bigger the better. He's the one who creates all those wonderful art squares. If barkingmad has a crisis that calls for a man with tools, then Bill's the man. He's our hero of the office.
If Bill was a dog, then all that can be said is he would be a hairy one.
