Rutkowski is the founder and photographer of Her Helm (www.herhelm.com), a portrait project celebrating women boat captains. Drawing from her appreciation of maritime culture and a desire to challenge gender stereotypes, Rutkowski embarked on a photographic journey to celebrate the women who have taken the helm in traditionally male-dominated roles.

In doing so, she uplifts all women making their way in the maritime world.
