About Rich Ward
Rich Ward is a graphic designer practising since the 1980s as a creative director and brand consultant, working with national and global brands across commercial, not-for-profit and education. In 2012, following work on the London 2012 Olympic brand, Rich founded RAW Brothers with his brother Andy. They went on to create brand stories for the British Film Institute, LKQ, MG Motors, Invesco, CarTrawler, Eternal Wall, EA, Courage Yard, Love 146, and British Airways, to name a few.
Rich has lived in Ealing since the 1980s. In 2016, Rich returned to his roots, creating in paint, spoken word and storytelling, exploring what it is to be human, both spiritual and physical, drawing on his Christian contemplative faith. Seeking opportunities to explore what it is to make human connections, Rich was one of the founding partners of Go Human, a social enterprise born out of a response to work culture in COVID-19.
