I had the pleasure of working with Rubina at AWS, where she consistently demonstrated a rare blend of strategic vision, creativity, and deep technical expertise. She bridges product, engineering, and UX seamlessly, ensuring user-centered design drives product success. Her standout work in automotive IoT simplified complex telematics and fleet-management workflows, turning real-time vehicle data into intuitive, scalable experiences that boosted adoption and usability. Rubina is also a proactive, collaborative teammate who elevates design discussions and delivers measurable impact. Any organization seeking a UX leader to tackle complex challenges and create seamless experiences would be fortunate to have her

Rubina is a designer's designer. She is as comfortable white-boarding out UX challenges as she is designing identity systems. It was this ability to seamlessly switch between roles that made Rubina stand out from the crowd. Her enthusiasm is infectious, as is her curiosity – two of the most important traits a designer can have. I look forward to working with her again and would strongly recommend her for any role that requires design versatility, attention to detail, and a thoughtful approach to the solution

As a UX Researcher, I worked with Rubina who was a UX Designer at Cisco Systems. Rubina was outstanding at not only thinking through the user flow for a given task but to really be uncompromising regarding the overall polish needed for a given UX experience. Her "eye" for quality is fantastic which is certainly due, in part, from her graphic design experience from her B.A. and M.F.A. background. She was a wonderful colleague and was a great asset for our UX group at Cisco Systems. I highly recommend Rubina for any UX role.

Ever generous and incredibly easy to get along with, she has the ability to make one feel at ease regardless of whether you're a friend or a colleague!

I had a great pleasure to develop data aggregation platform project with Rubina at Volkswagen Innovation Center of California (previously VW Electronics Research Laboratory). She is a professional focused on results and has a good relationship with all teammates. She was able to work with remote client, gather project requirements, understand the project concept exhaustively and produce elegant and clear wireframes. Her work was a big part of team's success in this project.

Over the summer, I was Rubina's supervisor for her internship. I found her to be consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and a smile. Rubina is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. At the same time she takes criticism and input of her work from the team and is able to build upon her work. She has helped develop several design projects for our packaging team that have been very successful. During her time, we have found her to be a great team player with great individual skills, and willing to learn new ones. I highly recommend Rubina; she is a young talented designer with great potential and would be an asset to any design and R&D team.
