I see you, creative female entrepreneur.
You’ve got a head full of dreams and a heart overflowing with visions of doing good – for yourself, your community and our earth.
There’s just one itty bitty bothersome bump in the road: your current branding isn’t doing you any good.
Maybe it lacks heart, soul, creativity or consistency. Or maybe it’s cursing your business with a cloak of invisibility that keeps your brand unseen, unappreciated and unloved.
I get it – but it doesn’t have to be this way. Together, let’s lovingly shimmy your brand out of the shadows with authentic visuals that make your business unforgettable and irresistible.

Hi there, I’m Ruth
I’m the creative mind (and heart) behind Rumu Creative — a designer, illustrator, and ideas person through and through.
When I’m not folding paper planes for my kidlets or hunting down the best gluten-free donuts, I’m bringing brands to life with thoughtful, soulful design. I draw inspiration from the world around us — nature, travel, colour, culture — and use it to shape visuals that feel meaningful, imaginative, and unmistakably you.
I also run So Mad About Design, where I get to share my love of creativity with young artists and future designers. Whether I’m working with small businesses or curious kids, everything I do is driven by heart, curiosity, and great design.
tales told by daring creative dreamers
Ruth is an absolute master at her craft (and a damn good human that makes the whole experience stress-free and magical AF).
Balancing creative illustrative skills with captivating designs that transport you into a totally new world, Ruth is a MUST-HAVE for any business that cares about connecting with their audiences.
Working with Ruth as my graphic designer was one of the easiest business decisions I ever made. I was immediately drawn to her glorious creations on her page, they FELT like the look I wanted and needed for my business.
From the minute I made contact Ruth explained the process beautifully. Her discovery process made me really think about what I wanted to achieve in my business and to refine how I was planning on working in the future.
She absolutely NAILED the brief with the original mood boards and intuitively knew exactly what I was going for. Everything was absolutely perfect, and she even gave me ideas for branding I hadn’t even thought of.
