Rick Foster

For over 25 years Rick forged a career as a successful copywriter. Twenty of those were as part-owner and founder of Tank, a creative agency that strived to make a meaningful difference through their work. Carrying on this ethos, Rick left Tank to pursue his passion for picture book writing, and through drawing on his own experience wrote his first picture book, Why Worry Wally? to help kids talk about and cope with their worries and anxiety. Rick is a strong advocate for mental health, in particular anxiety in children and men, and is passionate about de-stigmatising issues around mental health.
