About me
I’m Rika — a storyteller and pen for hire.
As a content writer, I help people and businesses bring their stories to life.
My creative journey started in Sri Lanka, where I grew up surrounded by art, books, and a love of imagination. I was the kid “studying” Tolkien, Blyton, or Pratchett behind my textbooks — and once turned my mother’s leather dining chairs into expressionist art.
I’m not rebellious, just driven to create!
.
To channel that energy — and spare my family from the creative destruction — I studied architecture and moved to England to complete my degree and postgraduate studies. For over 20 years, I have worked in the built environment — first as a project architect, then as a design manager — delivering education, residential, and commercial projects. But writing always called me back.
Now, I blend industry expertise with storytelling skills to help architects, engineers, and construction professionals communicate with clarity and purpose, without the jargon. I also partner with female-led businesses across industries, driven by curiosity and a deep belief in amplifying women’s voices. We all have a story to tell, don’t we?
Beyond client work, I write fiction for both children and adults, and review fringe theatre in London.
When I’m not writing, you’ll find me playing tennis, adding “just one more” book to my collection, or negotiating with my cat, Milo, who’s convinced he runs the show.
