founders

Rhubarb is a Melbourne based company, founded and managed by husband & wife team Nick & Katlin Harper.

Katlin was a buyer for Australia’s leading department store Myer Pty Ltd for over 10 years and saw an opportunity in the market for a fresh, new, coordinated lifestyle brand. From this rhubarb was born.

Katlin is the creative leader of rhubarb. She heads up the sales, marketing and product development teams. Like most buyers, she loves to shop! International trips see her walking around stores & markets for hours on end…all in the name of research of course!

Nick is the Managing Director and oversees rhubarb’s finance, logistics, and operations. Before rhubarb, Nick spent 8 years with Cadbury Schwepps in various finance and sales roles. These positions have allowed Nick to gain a wealth of knowledge that has become an integral part to the success behind rhubarb.

Outside of rhubarb, Katlin and Nick love to spend time with their gorgeous children, six year old Olivia and two year old Jonathan.
