Linda Rick

Linda Rick started her business in 1990. Her business began as a hobby with porcelain, all American made dolls that were exquisitely dressed. Soon after offering the dolls in the wholesale gift market in Michigan and Atlanta, the business flourished.

Her dolls were offered in the gift industry for many years before her first launch at the Toy Fair in 1998. Since then, she has introduced four additional lines under "The Doll Maker" umbrella, including The Doll Maker & Friends, Key to My Heart, Lee Middleton Moments and Lovie Dovie Dolls.

In addition to The Doll Maker brand expansion, Linda found herself surrounded by many design offers from staple companies in the doll industry. Excited and overwhelmed, she pursued a few.

Then one very special offer in 2001, saw Linda become the doll designer for Precious Moments, Inc. On January 1, 2010, "The Doll Maker" was granted the license to produce Precious Moments vinyl dolls.
