Testimonials
“Ruth Coalson successfully project-managed two pilot outreach initiatives developed by the Royal Observatory Greenwich education team, focusing on raising science capital in young people across the Greenwich area, one for the UK Space agency and one for Disney. These projects combined hands-on astronomy activities in schools and community centres, as well as the development of an educational digital experience for classrooms.
Throughout both projects, Ruth was exceptional at keeping everything on track, coordinating with multiple stakeholders and making sure everyone had the support they needed. Her caring and collaborative approach, combined with her deep knowledge and professionalism, made the entire process smooth and effective. I would love to work with Ruth again on future projects and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and dedicated project manager.
—Jess Sells, Senior Astronomy Manager, Education and Outreach
“Extraordinary.
Ruth Coalson truly is the definition of the word. Her knowledge of the fulldome and planetarium industry is vast and encyclopedic. From specific technical details, to valuable creative insights, to deep marketing knowledge - and don’t even get us started on who she knows.
Seriously… she knows everybody in the business, and we’re pretty sure she knows everything there is to know about fulldomes and planetariums. And… she is one of the most generous, fun and funny people we have ever had the pleasure to work with.
No matter what you may want to do in the full dome or planetarium world, you definitely want Ruth on your team.”

“2023 has certainly seen many highs and lows in the world of Creative Futures but as I reflect back and look at how far we have come, all I can see is significant growth and development.
This could not have happened without our amazing team - Kirk, Elenore, Holly and Chris but especially working with industry experts like Ruth Coalson. Ruth joined us in January as Fundraising Entrepreneur in Residence, bringing a wealth of experience in bidwriting, project development as well as industry intelligence and future technology.
We have worked together on several successful funding bids such as the GAIN project and strategic aims with a focus on CreaTech at University of Warwick. I am so grateful to have Ruth as an extension of our team as her insights and industry knowledge are second to none!”
