Meet The Bad Tags Team

Meet Cristen, the HBIC here at Bad Tags

In the spring of 2014, Bad Tags was birthed into existence because Cristen's pup Moose demanded dog tags as cheeky as his personality. Moose, the bulldog extraordinaire, may no longer be with us, but his spirit lives on in the quirky sayings that kick-started this tag revolution.

What began as an unconventional hobby soon morphed into a full-time gig. In 2016, Cristen bid farewell to her Registered Nurse job, plunging headfirst into the adventure of running a small business.

Beyond conjuring the funniest dog tags, Cristen tends to her spoiled rescued dogs, a wild assortment of chickens, ducks, peacocks, goats, and two pot-bellied pigs adding to the adventure!

Jessica, Executive Assistant 

Jessica, our dynamo in the Bad Tags universe, hitched a ride with us in 2019 as the in-house assistant extraordinaire. Juggling roles like a pro, she's the maestro behind order and shipping management, and laser engraving wizardry.

When she's not conquering the Bad Tags world, Jessica unwinds by sharing cat memes with the finesse of a meme maestro. And if that's not enough, catch her camping escapades in Colorado's great outdoors with her family—because downtime for Jess is all about the purr-fect blend of laughs and nature vibes. 

 

Amy, Lead Graphic Designer

Amy, the newest maestro to join our symphony in the summer of 2020, is the wizard behind our tag designs and assists in our daily tag production dance.

Off-duty, she's the queen of a hobby farm in Indiana, reigning over a kingdom that includes her husband, rescue dogs, hamsters, chickens, rabbits, ducks and a turkey named Barb. When she's not holding court with her royal entourage, Amy finds joy in the simple things—tending to her animals, cultivating her garden, and indulging in the cozy trifecta of knitting, crafting, and reading.
