About

Hey, I’m Koraldo (kɔɹ-al̪-dɔ)! You can call me Kor if that is easier. I live in California and work at Layer, where I get to help shape the future of creative tools.

Before starting Layer, I co-founded Farewill—which has now raised more than $1B for charities, led teams at IDEO, and designed products for startups and organizations like Alphabet, Pinterest, and the International Space Station.

My work has won some awards and has been exhibited at institutions like the V&A in London, the Axis Gallery in Tokyo, and Ars Electronica in Linz.

I’ve also served as an advisor to charitable giving platforms at the Better Giving Studio (Gates Foundation × IDEO) and serve as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

Originally hailing from Albania, I’ve lived and worked in New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, and London, where I got my start studying design and engineering at the Royal College of Art and Imperial.
