Submit

This is not an exhaustive list. If you'd like to nominate an individual or firm to appear on the database, fill out this form ↗. As a small team, it takes an immense amount of effort to research and populate the database every day, so we highly appreciate your contributions.

Seniority and Recognition

Creatives on ruks.org are categorized by seniority and recognitions—signals that are meant to be descriptive, flexible, and fair.

Seniority reflects professional experience

  • Student
  • Early Career
  • 5+ Years
  • 10+ Years

Recognitions highlight type of work or quality of especially great work

  • Freelancer
  • Executive
  • One to Watch
  • Excellent
  • Elite

We hope that this approach will give employers helpful context without ranking creatives in a way that feels final or reductive.

This is still not a perfect system. No system is. Creative work evolves and portfolios change. If you feel your profile doesn't reflect you accurately, or you'd like your portfolio to be reevaluated, you're always welcome to reach out to us at admin@ruks.org ↗.
