Rick Schank, Senior Couch Po'tader Tot

I started Purple Couch Creative 10 years ago. I wanted to stop working and start having fun. I wanted to love what I did every day. Since then I have met a lot of creative people, collaborated on interesting projects, and nurtured my passion for creativity and beauty.

I've worked in the Marketing Communications industry for more than 30 years. I've managed large production departments, providing every type of creative service to internal and external clients. I recently retired from being an instructor at various colleges in Southern California. I taught for over 30 years. I'm as passionate about teaching (and learning) as I am about design. One of the benefits of my experience is the many connections I've made throughout all facets of the creative industry. I tap into this "purple force" whenever the job calls for a special skill or knowledge. There are always a lot of creative people on the purple couch. It's a big couch and there's always room for another person passionate about design. Use the contact information below to reach out and connect.
