Imaginatives™ is a creative team of individuals founded by Flora Johnson before her passing in 2005 with the goal of bringing the holiday tradition of Christopher Pop-In-Kins to children and families everywhere.
Rick Johnson, CEO
When Rick’s mom and dad passed away in 2005, he felt an enormous sense of responsibility to carry on their work to realize the dream of bringing Christopher Pop-In-Kins to families everywhere. He knew he couldn’t let them down, so he worked to establish the new Imaginatives team – a group of talented, creative, professionals that share Rick’s passionate dedication to bringing Christopher Pop-in-Kins and other wholesome family books and toys to the world. Rick lives in Alliance, Ohio and has three children, son Eric and twin daughters Heather and Sarah.
