Over the last 25 years, Ruta has criss-crossed Europe. After starting with Peter Schmidt in Hamburg, she worked with Dragon Rouge then Landor Paris, before taking the creative lead for Designboard in Brussels. Back in France, she contributed to the Hinsdale relaunch before joining blackandgold. This multicultural career path has built up a strong expertise in international brands, from Milka to Coca-Cola.
Rational and inspired, Ruta bases her approach to creative excellence on an imperative of strong content. As a dance and modern art enthusiast, she likes to dive into the effervescence of Berlin every year to recharge her batteries.
