Arlette Mulford
Arlette Mulford, CEO & Founder of Archine Studio, has over 18 years of professional experience in commercial design and construction. She has extensive experience in leading projects from planning, early conceptual design stages, construction administration, to project management.
She has held key design roles at leading firms such as Gensler’s Aviation Division, URW Airports (previously Westfield Airports), and HMSHost.
