Ruti is the Founder and Upholsteress of Find The Thread Upholstery.

A long-time New Yorker and Brooklyn resident, Ruti pursued a few other curvy paths before finding her passion for upholstery. After many years as a Product Manager and Software Developer, Ruti left her career in tech to start her own custom upholstery and sewing business. She has learned from many experts in her field, including in-person workshops, many YouTube videos, and as the Head of Production in another local custom shop, where she worked for three years.

Ruti specializes in bright, colorful textiles, and can help guide you toward the durable, stain resistant, joyful fabrics that your project desires. She loves a good pattern matching challenge, and is thoughtful about fabric layout and design. She loves to collaborate with clients to ensure that each individual project needs are met.

Ruti is a mama of two, an active participant in her community, and a lover of running, hiking and hot yoga. She is happiest when her work is mutually respectful, colorful, sustainable, and FUN.

What My Clients Are Saying

    “We’ve never done anything like this before, and she was super patient, really listened to what we were thinking and how our thoughts evolved. Love the chair. LOVE it. I almost want to buy a bunch of new furniture, just to work with Ruti again, right away. :)”

  • ERICA R.

    “Ruti gave our dining chairs a new life! While the quality and craftsmanship are top-knotch, I think my favorite part of working with Ruti is her ability to give you immense amounts of choice, but also help you curate if you are feeling overwhelmed. She's a dream to work with.”
