For Ruth Amos, making is about curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving — whether she’s building a giant electric toothbrush, testing out new tools, or bringing kids' wildest invention ideas to life.
Brand Collaborations
Ruth loves teaming up with brands that share her passion for innovation, storytelling, and a touch of the unexpected. From showcasing tools to creating unique builds, she brings authenticity and energy to every project. She has had the pleasure of working with brands like Disney, Aquafresh, and the BBC, creating engaging content that inspires creativity and celebrates the magic of making.
Television
As part of Masters of Reinvention on the Yesterday channel and Hannah Fry: Secret Genius of Modern Life, Ruth dives into creative challenges, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Sharing the magic of making on screen is something she finds deeply rewarding, thriving on sparking curiosity in viewers of all ages.
Personal Projects
When she’s not on screen or building kids' ideas, Ruth can be found in her workshop, welding, problem-solving, and bringing slightly crazy ideas to life. From constructing a giant LEGO-inspired Christmas tree to DIYing a SawStop or even creating a futuristic LED skincare mask, she loves pushing boundaries and exploring new ideas. For Ruth, making is a chance to learn, innovate, and share the excitement that comes with creating something new.
