Ethan Rubens

I’m a designer, strategist, and researcher. I love looking closely, asking questions, and finding patterns in systems and behavior. I thrive in the space between research and engineering, building prototypes and applying empathy to creative technology. I’m a technical anthropologist, and a creative engineer.

I studied Anthropology and Studio Art at Dartmouth College and hold MA/MSc degrees in Innovation Design Engineering from the Royal College of Art and Imperial College.
