About

Nazar Yarish

Hi! I'm Nazar Yarish. I majored in Toy Design and Fine Arts at F.I.T in New York City. My journey in the toy industry began with an internship at Mattel in California, followed by nearly three years at local toy companies near my hometown in New Jersey. I later moved to Los Angeles to work at Spin Master, where I had the incredible opportunity to design for PAW Patrol, the #1 preschool property on air. My name is even featured in the show’s credits, a testament to the impactful designs I contributed.

My time in LA was transformative, allowing me to collaborate with some of the most talented designers in the industry. This experience propelled my career forward and eventually led me back to New York City as a Designer at BARK.

At BARK, we are the leading dog toy company, catering to millions of subscribers through our monthly box program and major retail partners like Target, Petco, and Costco. As a Principal Designer, I oversee the design of multiple SKUs across several lines each year, creating best-selling, multi-million-dollar toys in both the pet and children's spaces.

Outside of designing, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors—camping, hiking, snowboarding, or planning my next adventure to a remote corner of the world. I’m actively taking on freelance work in children's toy design as well as pet, so feel free to reach out!
