Hey Creatives! Today we are announcing our 2018-2019 Design Team! We had so many talented creatives apply and it was a very difficult desicion!
There are many things that go into picking a team and even if you are not chosen it does not mean that you are not talented!
Sometimes it’s not the right fit at the right time, or someone on the team may already have a similar style… here may be may reasons that have nothing to do with your talent so keep on trying! That being said we are so excited to announce to you our new team!
Welcome Back our Returning Design Team members:

Yolie Burke
I have always dabbled in arts and crafts, at first it was just a hobby, but has quickly become my passion. I have the passion for creating and sharing, to inspire and be inspired. I look forward sharing my creations with Rita Barakat Designs.
Kate Morrow, Creative Team Lead
I’m Kathryn Morrow and I’m thrilled to be a part of Rita Barakat Designs. I started doing mixed media projects over 20 years ago with collaging, stamping, scrapbooking, card making and more. I have taught many classes from floral design to paper arts to jewelry making. I love being creative and try to incorporate creativity in each and every day.
