Arlinda Branko
Director, New York Office
Arlinda brings 15 years of experience working for renown architecture firms and creative agencies throughout NYC and the West Coast. Her work spans across disciplines including architecture, interiors, furniture and graphics. ​
She grew-up on the Ionian coast of Albania, an area known for the unspoiled natural scenery and archeological sites dating back to 600 BC.
Arlinda received a degree in Architecture from Pratt Institute followed by studies in Graphic design at Cooper Union. Prior to moving to New York she studied architecture at Universita degli Studi di Firenze in Italy where her interests identified with “From the Spoon to the City”—a movement born from architect’s desire to design both buildings and their contents.
Toni Vrapi
Director, LA Office
​Toni operates at the edges of architecture—not as a licensed architect, but as a devoted student of modernism and a champion of creative freedom. Trained in Accounting, he entered the design industry to pursue a more open and creative future, bringing discipline, clarity, and proportion to material and detail. For the past decade he has worked outside the profession’s formal bounds, exploring fabrication and craft to make work that feels genuinely contemporary while remaining accountable to history. His guiding belief is simple: innovation should extend tradition, not overwrite it.
