His most recent endeavor, in conjunction with his partners, is the development of their new location-based immersive entertainment concept, Department of Wonder. As Head of Fabrication, his role is multifaceted and primarily focused on leading the design and fabrication efforts of the built environment, including overall technical planning and coordination, as well as design and development of one-off interactive exhibits (animatronics, microcontroller-based triggered experiences, etc.). In the short few mo
Additionally, Rickey founded the studio, Haptic Workshop, focusing on developing solutions to non-typical design problems with an emphasis on immersive and/or interactive art and entertainment based projects. The mission of Haptic was to leverage cutting edge digital fabrication tools and design software to explore the intersections of art, design and fabrication, which are skill sets he developed and honed both as an senior architectural designer with CallisonRTKL, and through his work as a teaching lab ma
