Our Team

Rouben Mohiuddin, is a design practitioner and has over 25 years of experience in architecture and design. Growing up internationally instilled in him a bounty of diversity, which influenced a lifelong appreciation for art and design. With a B.A. in Environmental Design and an M. Arch. from the prestigious Southern California Institute of Architecture, Rouben launched his design career working at award winning residential design firms in New York and Los Angeles. He then founded Design SI in 2014. Endlessly driven by the practice, he has always been inspired by the notion of ‘giving back’ through volunteering, which he does through community oriented projects. Currently Rouben is an Associate Professor of Interior Architecture at CSU-Chico, and he has previously served as an educator at UCLA, Otis School of Art and Design, and the New York School of Interior Design. Rouben enjoys fly-fishing, the outdoors and cars. He and his wife, Trina, have a son, Zayd, and reside in Chico, CA.
