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.
