Lecturer
Rick English opened his first studio in Palo Alto in 1985 after earning a degree in Visual Design from the University of California at Berkeley. Apple was Rick’s first major client, and he moved his studio to San Francisco in 1989. Rick’s book AppleDesign, published by Graphis and written by Paul Kunkel, chronicles the history of design at Apple. In 2011, Rick shot and edited a full length documentary, Preventing Genocide, with Dr. David Hamburg and Eric Hamburg. It is based on interviews with 28 world leaders including Kofi Annan and Desmond Tutu. The film and all interviews are permanently housed at the Stanford Library. From 2017 to 2021, Rick was Chair and Professor of Photography at the Savannah College of Art and Design. In 2022 Rick donated all of his commercial photography to the Computer History Museum, who will archive it in perpetuity. He now lives in Palo Alto and teaches at SJSU.
