Miss Ruby Worldwide

Ruby’s Crew

Meet the team behind the books, the beats, and all the beautiful chaos. It takes a village. Ours just happens to include a pug.

👑 Miss Ruby — CEO
Chief Executive Officer
Miss Ruby

Ruby doesn’t hold meetings. Ruby is the meeting. As CEO of Miss Ruby Worldwide, she sets the vision, approves every book cover, and maintains final say on all treats and nap schedules. Her management style is best described as “adorable but firm.” Nobody argues with her. Nobody.

The Human in Charge

Turns ideas into websites and coffee into code. Claire is responsible for every pixel of the Miss Ruby network — and yes, she does make it look this good on purpose.
Clark Montague

If the internet is a highway, Clark built the road. Server wrangler, database whisperer, and the guy who gets called at 2am when something breaks. Cool under pressure. Very cool.

Miss Ruby's Favorite Toys
The Holy Trinity 🐾

Every great executive has her essentials. For Miss Ruby, it’s these three. Without them, the whole operation grinds to a halt.

🐻 Mr. Bear — Senior Advisor. Battle-scarred. Irreplaceable.
💜 Mr. Purple Monster — Chief Morale Officer. Three eyes, infinite wisdom.
🥥 The Coconut Drink — Official beverage of Miss Ruby HQ. Always tropical.

In Loving Memory

Miss Zoe — The Matriarch
Miss Zoe
The Matriarch — Forever Part of the Crew

She ran the household before there was a company to run. Wise, dignified, and always the first one to the food bowl. Miss Zoe laid the foundation for everything Miss Ruby Worldwide became. She is missed every single day.
