Notes by Mark Wilson

To anyone who knows her, Ruth Carroll is an inspiration. The ultimate gourmand, Ruth has a natural knack for knowing what colors of flowers go best together, what movie to watch to give you a cathartic release, or what pattern of Scottish tartan to make an attractive kilt for her stylish outfits.

Ruth was born in Birmingham Alabama, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area at the age of four. She grew up in the hillside community of Kensington. She studied dramatic arts, art history, and film history and production. Ruth attended the prestigious San Francisco Art Institute, and then earned her B.A. in Art History from the California State at Hayward.

In the go-go economy of the 1980's, Ruth Carroll managed the marketing arm of Chicago Title Company's Albany/Berkeley California office. Ruth's responsibilities included event planning, newsletters, crafting corporate slogans/brochures and hiring personnel to assist her. Ruth left Chicago Title in 1997, and went into her own freelance career in marketing and website design.

She began noticing an interest among her educated and professional clientele in the concept of a new type of one-stop shop website that would enrich their lifestyles.So, during 2003, Ruth put her creative talents to work to develop such a website. She assembled talented artists to offer handcrafted jewelry and innovative customized purses on this website, hired a professional web designer from England and a much-published writer from Berkeley, California and added her own extensive background in traveling to off-the-beaten path destinations.

Ruth's love of Celtic culture and history, and her own Gaelic roots (her great-great grandfather immigrated from Ireland in the mid-1800's), lead her to coin the phrase "wildcelt.com" for her new lifestyle website. And in January of 2004, voila!! One of the most rewarding and sophisticated websites on the Internet was born.
