Your storyteller and pen for hire

Hi, I’m Rika, a London-based freelance writer and biographer, with a passion for transforming your ideas and experiences into compelling stories. 

As a content writer with a background in Architecture and Design management, I’m especially dedicated to supporting women in the AEC and built environment sectors—amplifying their achievements and championing their unique voices. When writing for architects, engineers, consultants, and developers, I combine industry knowledge with storytelling skills to write engaging content without the dry facts or confusing jargon. 

Let’s tell your story in a way that connects and inspires.

And a bit more about me…

Rika, an accomplished author of fiction and non-fiction, as well as a prolific blogger, traces her creative roots back to her upbringing in Sri Lanka. Immersed in the arts from a young age, she cultivated a deep love for painting and reading.

Her academic journey led her to the UK, where she pursued architecture and subsequently thrived as a Design Manager for eight years. However, it was the call of her true passion that eventually beckoned. Rika now crafts captivating stories for both children and adults, alongside regular reviews of fringe theatre productions in London.

A proud member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), Rika resides in London, where she seamlessly balances her roles as an author, copywriter and biographer.

Beyond the written word, Rika’s heart belongs to tennis—whether on the court or as an avid spectator. Her mischievous cat Milo keeps her on her toes, and her love for reading (obviously) is evident in her inability to resist adding a few (or ten) books to her collection every time she passes a bookstore. After all, there’s always room for more!”
