About Rebecca Rueth

Rebecca Rueth formal education in illustration from RISD and Surface Design from FIDM prepared her for a diverse career with a wide range of experiences. Early on, she was a technical design intern at New York & Co, Art Director at Publications International, and Graphic & Surface Designer at Guess. These in-house experiences provided her with a breadth of experience, unique insight into the Surface Design Industry, and a solid foundation for her work as a freelance Surface Designer.
