Celebrating 5 Years of Ruby + Citrine LLC
Five years ago, we dreamed of creating something extraordinary—a space where creativity, collaboration, and excellence could converge to produce meaningful work. Today, as a multi-faceted design agency specializing in Presentation design, we’re thrilled to celebrate five incredible years of Ruby + Citrine LLC. 🎉
Two Heads Are Better Than One
Starting a business is never easy, but having a true partner by your side can make all the difference. As a women-owned business and proud members of WBENC, we’ve built something from the ground up—breaking barriers and redefining leadership along the way. From late-night brainstorming sessions fueled by coffee (and, let’s be honest, the occasional cocktail) to navigating unexpected challenges, this journey has been one of resilience and growth. What began as a spark of inspiration has blossomed into a thriving company, driven by the hard work of our incredible team, the unwavering support of our clients and partners, and a deep commitment to empowering other women entrepreneurs.
The idea for this business was born in the beautiful chaos of everyday life—amid diaper changes and sleepless nights with newborns and toddlers. At the time, we were young mothers, major providers for our families, and constantly juggling what felt like a million responsibilities. Starting a business in those circumstances was far from easy, but it was fueled by an unshakable desire to create something better—for ourselves, for our children, and for our future. Those early days weren’t glamorous, but they were defined by resourcefulness, determination, and a belief in the vision we were building.
Looking back, those challenges shaped us, making us stronger and more resourceful. Every late night, every sacrifice, and every tough moment was worth it to lay the foundation for what we’ve built today.

A Journey Fueled by Passion and Purpose
When Ruby + Citrine came to life, we knew we wanted to be more than just a design agency. We envisioned a company driven by the core values that shaped us as individuals—accountability, relationships, creativity, excellence, and education. Over the years, these guiding principles have been the foundation of everything we’ve achieved.
Accountable + Trusted
From day one, we’ve believed that trust and accountability unlock the magic of teamwork. It’s what helped us foster a dependable, collaborative environment for our team and clients alike. Trust paves the way for growth, connections, and amazing results.
Building Relationships
At Ruby + Citrine, people come first—whether it’s nurturing bonds within our team or building meaningful partnerships with our clients. Relationships built on mutual respect and honesty have led to some of our most impactful projects.
Creatively Passionate
Our hearts are firmly rooted in creativity. From crafting bold presentations to solving complex design challenges, we live for the thrill of turning ideas into visuals that captivate. These past five years have been a celebration of imagination, and we couldn’t be more proud of the moments we’ve helped our clients shine.
Dedicated to Excellence
Excellence isn’t just a goal—it’s a mindset. Every project we touch is an opportunity to raise the bar, both for ourselves and for our clients. This dedication has allowed us to grow, evolve, and continuously deliver work we’re proud of.
Educate and Uplift
We’ve always believed that knowledge is meant to be shared. Whether it’s learning new techniques, mentoring each other, or giving back to the design community, empowering others has been a vital part of who we are.
Moments That Shaped Us
Over the past five years, we’ve built an amazing team, partnered with inspiring clients, and tackled exciting challenges. One of the highlights has been working with companies that share our values and trust us as problem solvers and extensions of their teams. This journey has not only strengthened our commitment to our work but also to ourselves and our families. Celebrating every win—big or small—has reminded us to prioritize balance, cherish moments outside of work, and continue building a future that aligns with our personal values and aspirations. Each milestone has reaffirmed why we started Ruby + Citrine and inspired us to dream even bigger for what lies ahead, both professionally and personally.
Looking to the Future
This milestone isn’t just a celebration—it’s a reminder that the best is yet to come. We’re excited to continue growing, creating, and sharing this journey with you. To our team, clients, and community of supporters—you are the heart of Ruby + Citrine, and we couldn’t have reached this point without you.
Here’s to future adventures filled with bold ideas, lasting partnerships, and even more creative possibilities. Thank you for five amazing years—we can’t wait for what’s next!
