Kia Ora,
I’m Ruby Ross-Hayes

I recently graduted from Toi Rauwhārangi, Massey University with a Bachelor of Design with first-class honours,majoring in Visual Communication Design. As a flexible and detail-oriented designer, I love crafting meaningful visual experiences that connect with audiences. I am a proactive and positive person with a can-do attitude. I’m really drawn to creative problem solving and the way design can communicate complex ideas in clear and engaging ways. I have a strong interest in typography, editorial design and branding, and have enjoyed building my skills across these areas. In 2025 I was awarded with Merit a member of the International Society of Typographic Designers (ISTD).
I love the details of design and how small decisions build up to create a bigger picture. I enjoy incorporating tactile elements into my work, particularly as we move further into a digital age, embracing the mistakes and emotion that hands-on design creates. In recent years, this has taken the form of printmaking and bookbinding.
I value communication highly and incorporate this into all areas of my life. I love learning new things, which is why I enjoy working in collaborative environments where you can give and recive constructive feedback, growing together.
