Hi! I’m Ruthie.

I'm a Philadelphia-based graphic designer passionate about brand and marketing designing. A lifelong learner, I aspire to create beautiful, functional designs with an evolving skillset and study of design softwares.

With a background rooted in the SaaS world, I've honed my skills for the last eight years as a marketing graphic designer, in both domestic and international settings. I’m obsessed with ensuring designs not only look great but also effectively serve marketing and branding needs.

I currently work remotely as a member of the Calendly brand and design team.
