Welcome to The Rik Barwick Studio.
Your partner in Shopify design, development, and brand storytelling.
For nearly 25 years I’ve helped clients build websites that perform, Shopify stores that sell and brands that connect. I bring clarity and technical depth to every project, with support you can rely on long after launch.
I’m on a personal mission to create meaningful, measurable impact for my clients through beautiful, thoughtful design — and to creatively enrich the lives of those I meet along the way, whether through design services, useful guides or with my art & printmaking work.
If your business needs a creative spark please get in touch and let’s see how we can make a difference together.
