Josh Rubin Biography

"There are no new ideas, just great executions." This has been Josh Rubin's mantra for over a decade – a realization that actually opened the door to both creativity and productivity. As an interaction designer, Rubin is always looking for both inspiration and an understanding of how people engage with technology and design. His presentations motivate creatives and businesspeople alike by demystifying the relationship between these seemingly foreign but totally interdependent roles. His lessons and stories are rooted in his ability to bridge design and technology, but are relevant to all disciplines.

In 2003, he decided to start a catalog of what he found interesting and launched "Cool Hunting" (CoolHunting.com), named after a phrase synonymous with finding inspiration. This is more than just trends; it is about curated observations. The "Cool Hunting" global team of editors and contributors sift through innovations in design, technology, art, and culture to create their Webby award-winning online publication, consisting of cutting-edge daily insights and weekly mini-documentaries.

In addition to editing "Cool Hunting," Rubin consults for select clients on strategy, content, and design for digital products, services, and publications. His consultancy has engaged with major clients including Apple, Adobe, Vodafone, Nike, Google, and MTV. Rubin also serves as the Executive Creative Director at Largetail, a studio that produces original content for brands. Furthermore, he helped to establish the digital consultancy Bond Art + Science, was a Lead User Interface Designer at Motorola, a Design Director at Razorfish, in charge of product development at Upoc Networks, and an intern at IDEO. He has a BA in Communications and Cognitive Science from Hampshire College and a Master's in Interactive Telecommunications from NYU.

Rubin has been in such high demand as a speaker and consultant because of his ability to help people understand what makes an idea great, how to execute that great idea, and how to drive successful innovation. His regular speaking engagements cover topics such as innovation, the future of publishing, and trends in design and technology, which are all about how to make it happen and turning vision into reality.
