Paul Rundle MA RCA,

Co-Founder CEO | Creative Strategist | Global Design Leader

With over 30 years of experience spanning interior architecture, design leadership, and project management across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, I bring a deeply global perspective and a passion for delivering design excellence in complex, high-stakes environments.

After earning my Master’s in Interior Architecture from the Royal College of Art in London, I built an international career that has taken me through the creative and construction landscapes of Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, Barcelona, Rome, Macau, Riyadh, and now Ho Chi Minh City. My portfolio includes luxury hospitality, mixed-use developments, high-end residential, commercial, retail, and entertainment spaces — many created in collaboration with Fortune 500 companies, world- class hotel brands, visionary developers, and private clients.

Throughout my career, I’ve led multidisciplinary teams and steered landmark projects from concept to completion — always aligning creative ambition with commercial success. From establishing design and delivery standards for brands across Asia and the Middle East to navigating the nuances of regional regulations, cultural contexts, and stakeholder visions, my leadership has been built clarity, creativity, and collaboration.

At Kyndra Group, I channel this experience into a new design paradigm — blending human creativity with emerging technologies to shape spaces and strategies that are future-ready, emotionally intelligent, and culturally attuned.

THE PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

We work with studios facing real-world challenges like:

• Operational complexity that drains creative time and leadership energy

• Over-reliance on founder intuition without scalable frameworks

• Unclear roles, poor delegation, and talent disengagement

• Difficulty integrating AI or digital tools without disrupting culture

• Margin erosion and project risk due to weak commercial models

Our work is practical, structured, and deeply human —

focused on building long-term capability. Kyndra by Clio is just one of the many ways we leverage technology to streamline studio operations and enhance leadership capabilities.
