Hey! I'm Rik. Long story short, I’m an independent SEO-PR consultant and founder. Previously a strategist at digital marketing agency Propellernet, I now use my expertise to fund initiatives supporting mental health & creativity.

I used to work hard and fast. I used to think: "if I can just hit that target/get that promotion/take that holiday/win that award, then I'll be happy"

After 8 years in a "successful" career making money for my clients and myself, I achieved all these external goals... and experienced burnout.

Now, I focus on helping people learn from my experience through consulting, connecting and creating. I work smarter. I slow down. I play more. 😎
