Rik Barwick's Linkedin Analytics

Hello I'm Rik, an artist and designer with over 20 years of experience. I have freelanced in the digital space for all kinds of businesses - big and small, local and international. I ran my own design agency 'Creativitea*' for 8 years where I managed a core team of 4 designers and a few freelance consultants. I worked hand in hand with our clients providing them quality of service whilst leading pitches for new clients. Tea* was a great success working with amazing clients and earning recognition at award shows. We won two A* Design Awards in Italy and were finalists in the local Surrey Business Awards. I am now a very rounded designer with experience in telecoms, retail, product and fintech. Not only do I design great digital experiences, I also build brands helping launch and support businesses as they grow. I've always wanted to change the world through the skills I have. One day I hope I do but in the meantime every project I undertake I try and change my client's world - leaving a positive legacy behind me whether it's fantastic results, a sense of pride or an improved skill set. I live outside London, proudly on a hill in Suffolk. I met my wife when we were just 15 and we are blessed with 3 sons, 1 cat and 3 chickens - all are free range. If that's not all I am also a qualified FA Football Coach coaching kids aged 9 & 10 so have lots of patience. I truly love what I do! If you are in need of an experienced designer to join your team or help build your brand, give me a call - i'll fly with you.
