Rika Creations began in 1997 as a way to introduce Shawn-rika's crafts and handiwork to the local merchants in Big Fork, Montana.  This craft business was a way to make extra money while Shawn-rika was pursuing her Associates Degrees at Flathead Valley Community College.  The local merchants welcomed her designs and also supplied her with custom orders when their inventory did not meet the needs of certain customers.

Over the years, as Shawn-rika's business skills became more polished and advanced, the company began to be known for the creative and professional documents that she created.  During this time, some projects expanded beyond just form and document creation to efficiency and organizational consulting, and information technology suggestions (including database design).  These projects in turn expanded to the implementation of her useful  ideas.

After such success doing consulting on a part-time basis, Shawn-rika recognized her entrepreneurial spirit and decided to hone in on these natural abilities by attending the University of Arizona.  She recently has completed her Bachelor of Arts degree with majors in Business Management, Management Information Systems, and Entrepreneurship, and will finish her major of Operations Management and her minor in Communications as of December 2005.

With the added education and experience Shawn-rika now possesses, she is looking foreard to taking Rika Creations to a new level in business consulting.  Her craftwork is still available on a custom order basis, but the main focus of the company is the consulting.
