Toy Designer

BIO

Born in Milwaukee Wisconsin, Rick Goodwin received a Fine Arts degree in sculpture and theater from the University of Wisconsin. He was left with little choice but to move to New York. After working for numerous theatre and media organizations, Rick formed a company specializing in special effect puppets, props and costumes.

Toxification and a need to make a more lasting contribution led him to a career change and a Masters Degree in Industrial Design from Pratt Institute. Focusing on design for children, Rick returned to Pratt to teach, among other subjects, the toy design studio. Rick is now the Acting Assistant Chair of the Industrial Design Department at Pratt.

Rick and his business partner Kevin Williams have recently launched a new line of sports activity products called OgoSport. These are the first in a line of products meant to encourage children and adults to go out and play.
