Founder + Creative Director

Ando Pndlian is the founder and creative director of SEARCH+RESQ, a Los Angeles–based multidisciplinary studio working across art, design, interiors, objects, and fabrication.

With a background in architecture, Ando approaches each project through curiosity, material exploration, and making. His practice moves fluidly between disciplines—bringing together creative direction, architectural thinking, craftsmanship, and an understanding of how ideas actually get built.

From collaborations with architects, artists, and global brands to independent explorations in fine art and furniture, the work is connected by a simple idea: follow the story, explore what it can become, and find the right way to bring it into the physical world.
