Rick is a scenic artist, filmmaker, design creator, and consummate storyteller!&amp;nbsp; Rick\u2019s innovative career reflects his many creative talents including: making stage props, a scenic artist for theatrical backdrops, a draftsman for an Egyptologist, using his many gifts on Jim Henson\u2019s creative team, the character designer of \u201cDora the Explorer\u201d, co-creating his own documentary film production company and to landing his current job as Director of Marketing and Content for the Environmental Defense Fund. The thread that connects all these experiences is Rick\u2019s passion to make things, be it paper mach\u00e9 cows, murals, drawings, community theater productions, films, do-it-yourself weddings or meaningful stories that help save the planet.  Rick is inspired by the blank page and that process of making art, acknowledging that it is both supremely infinite and terrifying!! Check out the show notes for links to Rick\u2019s projects and the Environmental Defense Fund, particularly a site that offers a one-stop shop to search for sustainable solutions.
