Art Director

At Rubenius, we dont treat design as surface treatment.

We treat it as a system that shapes behaviour, wellbeing, and experience.

With over 20 years of practice across commercial workplaces, experiential environments, F&B, and residential spaces, Rubenius Interior Wellbeing operates at the intersection of design, technology, and execution.

Through REDS (Rubenius Experiential Design System), we are building a future-ready practice focused on experiential, interactive, and techno-integrated environmentswhere global thinking meets grounded, real-world delivery.
