Born with artist DNA, I painted everything I could get my hands on since I could hold a paintbrush. I picked up a camera at 8. I received a bachelors in photojournalism and design with an emphasis in editing. 

I’ve worked in design and visual editing for print, web delivery, and training. Contracting for a long stint, I’ve also worked in non-profit and government, both state and federal.

My next adventure will include the thrill of producing exceptional and thoughtful work with incredible people, and closing each day with pride.Let’s make something incredible together.

Insight from
my peers:

Ruth’s greatest strength
is her ability to take written content and turn it into polished, visually effective training materials.

One of Ruth's greatest skills
is being able to see the trees through the fog, the bigger picture. She uses this to form her work around both the assumed and the understood in projects, making sure that all involved have their needs met to the best of her working ability.
