Hey, I’m Daniel, the person behind The Bark Van.

I’ve always had two big loves: animals and design. Back in Brazil, I started working young in printing and design, surrounded by designers, photographers and artists. I loved that world, but I still felt like I was looking for something different.

After moving to Australia and trying a few paths, I realised how much I missed having dogs in my everyday life. I didn’t have one of my own, so apparently the answer was to fill a van with them.

That’s how The Bark Van started in 2024. I created the whole brand myself, from the logo to every little visual detail. Now I spend my days bringing dogs together, keeping them active and sending them home happy and tired
