HELLO! i’m ruth.
I’m a proud Geordie Libra, pizza lover, top tea drinker, digital doodler, and musical theatre fan! Based in County Durham, England, I have always had a love of art and creativity, and am on a mission to bring smiles to people’s faces one design at a time :)
After completing my degree in Illustration and Design at the University of Sunderland, I started working as a Junior Designer as part of the Product Development team at Crafter’s Companion - founded by Dragon’s Den star Sara Davies. Over the past 10 years, I have worked my way up to Senior Designer, and most recently have been promoted to Deputy Team Leader. As a result I have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge of the papercraft industry, as well as strong skills in product design, branding, packaging, typography, print, layout and more.
In my spare time I enjoy creating digital illustrations, journalling, walks in the great outdoors, visits to the theatre, relaxing with a good movie or box set, and getting lost in a good book (secondhand bookshops are my happy place!)
Please feel free to take a look through my design portfolio. If you would be interested in working together, please don’t hesitate to get in touch :)
