About Rubina Hughes Design

Rubina is a kitchen designer with a genuine passion for crafting spaces as unique as the people who use them. With over 20 years of experience and a rich, diverse background, she blends creativity with practicality to deliver kitchens that are both elegant and functional.

Ethics and sustainability are at the heart of Rubina’s work — from responsibly sourced materials to intentional, thoughtful design. Guided by a "quality over quantity" philosophy, she creates kitchens that feel personal, not predictable. Born in East Africa and grounded in a rich South Asian heritage, Rubina brings a diverse cultural perspective and a distinctive flair to every culinary space she designs.

Rubina thrives on challenges, whether it’s working with unconventional layouts or blending traditional charm with contemporary flair. For Rubina, a kitchen is never “just boxes in a room, it’s the soul of the home, seamlessly integrating beauty, functionality, and individuality.

They follow everything through so every last detail is addressed and completed.
