About Barkly Basics founder, Dr Natasha Malov, Melbourne, 2015:

"I am a forward thinker in every sense of the word and a scientist by profession, but always had an appetite for creativity, innovation and new product design. After having started a career researching breast cancer, I quickly realised that the lab was not for me and that it didn’t cater for my creativity and passion for style.

My passion for innovation stems back to my childhood. I remember experimenting on the kitchen bench at my parents home, thinking one day I will create a great product. Re-designing the kitchen sponge is just the beginning…

I look forward to the journey ahead and hope you enjoy our products as much as we do."
