Our Story

Once upon a time, friends and fellow designers from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY – Kevin Williams and Rick Goodwin – realized they had a common outlook on life: to create toys that encouraged people of all ages to get moving and have fun through active and creative play. In 2006, they banded together to start a toy business based on Rick’s motto “Oh Go Outside and Play,” and the company OgoSport was born.

After setting up shop in Brooklyn, we launched the OgoDisk, a hand-trampoline for balls originally named the SportsDisk. It has gone on to be our best-selling toy and has won numerous awards. Since then, our office location changed – we are now in the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard - new faces have come on board and familiar ones have passed on. Pratt alumna and designer Jenie Fu joined OgoSport as a partner in 2008 but we lost Rick to cancer two years later. His philosophy on life is still vital to all of us and impacts our creative design process.
