After beginning his career as an online editor during the dot-com boom for sites such as AOL and others, Rubinstein moved into print, beginning in the design department of House & Garden (Condé Nast) under the tutelage of Design Editor Mayer Rus for three years.
Following that post, he spent time as a full-time freelance journalist for a variety of clients, including Oprah’s O at Home (Hearst), before becoming the Associate Editor at the international contemporary design magazine Surface. Three years later, he took the top post as Editor-in-Chief. The brand is now a part of the Interior Design Media Group, a division of Sandow Media.
In addition to his duties at the magazine, Rubinstein is an active member of the contemporary design community as a freelance writer/editor, curator, and consultant. The Home Front, his recent series of public programs at the Museum of Arts and Design on American furniture, will return to the institution in early 2012.
