The thread through it all

Useful can be beautiful.
Digital can feel human.

A room you can reimagine. A story you can step into. A tool that makes something possible. That is where I like to begin.

02 / More paths to take

For everyday life.
And life imagined.

The same curiosity, turned towards writing, speaking, reflection and a little quiet.

03 / Beyond the screen

Not everything
starts with code.

Some ideas become songs. Some become stories. Others find their way onto fabric.

Original music

Another way to tell a story.

Eight albums. A different side of the same imagination.

Worlds in words.

Five published titles. Find your next chapter.

Surface patterns

Ideas you can live with.

04 / Hello, I'm Ruth

A designer's eye.
A developer's hands.
An author's imagination.

I am a designer, developer and digital entrepreneur based in Cheshire, UK. Ruth Designs Digital is my independent creative practice.

I build apps, AI powered tools and blockchain products. Outside of code, I write books, release music and design surface patterns. I simply love making things.

An invitation to collaborate

Your idea does not have
to stay an idea.

Tell me what you are thinking

Start with a conversation.

A full build, a tricky technical problem or something still taking shape. Tell me where you are and what you need.

Bring design and development together.

I shape the experience and build the working product, with React, TypeScript and Node.js as my go to stack.

Or pull up a chair and build with me.

Prefer a collaborative session? Ship With Me offers individual live build sessions.

Before you say hello

A few things
you might wonder.

What kinds of projects do you take on?

Full app builds, creative collaborations, AI powered tools and blockchain products. I also help shape and deliver ideas that are still coming together.

Can I get in touch with an early idea?

Yes. You do not need to arrive with a finished specification. Tell me what you are thinking about, who it is for and what you would like help with.

Can we build something together?

Ship With Me offers individual live build sessions. You can explore the sessions through the link below. Explore Ship With Me.

What do you build with?

My go to stack is React, TypeScript and Node.js. The work here ranges from consumer apps and creative tools to mobile games.

Do you make things beyond software?

Yes. I have released eight albums of original music, published five books and create surface pattern designs. Making things takes many forms.
