Hello! I am Ruby Jane, creator of Spatial Projects. I have been an educator for 10 years. I was a Chemistry professor for four years before I finally decided to follow my heart and teach Science to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders. That was an awesome decision for me. I love kids, and I am happy seeing them learn and grow. Enjoy shopping in my store! -Ruby ;-)
