I am a creative and art director with a background in photography, fashion, and visual storytelling.

My journey began at the Art Academy, where I studied photography, and soon led me into the world of fashion editorials, exhibitions, and commercial projects. Early recognition — including the Best Debut Photographer award from Pravda magazine.

Ruta Mary Jane (born Rūta Marija Jankauskaitė) is a multidisciplinary creative and art director with over 15 years of experience across fashion, music, and visual culture. Known for her instinctive storytelling and bold aesthetic sensibility, she brings ideas to life through imagery that feels raw, cinematic, and emotionally charged.

Beginning her career as an award-winning fashion photographer and retoucher, Ruta quickly evolved into a full-spectrum creative — directing campaigns, conceptual shoots, and visual identities for brands, agencies, and artists. Her background also extends into event organization and the music scene, where she has collaborated with musicians, curated visual worlds, and helped shape creative communities around sound and performance.
