Creative and multidisciplinary designer based in Selangor, Malaysia. Architecture trained, hands-on by instinct — working across 3D printing, illustration, product design, and cultural projects.
Studied architecture at Taylor's University (2022–2025), which gave me the ability to think spatially, work across scales, and take a project from brief to built. But the things that stuck with me weren't the renderings — they were the physical objects: the models, the prototypes, the things you could pick up.
Outside of studio, I've been running bkemstoreroom — a small design and making practice on Instagram where I design and print things for the love of it. Bookends, figurines, polaroid holders, stackable crates. The kind of objects that are useful and considered at the same time.
I'm drawn to projects that sit at the edge of disciplines — where illustration meets product design, or where cultural heritage gets turned into something tactile and fun. The KKB trail, the NZ Curry merch, the 馬菠蘿 poker deck — they all started from the same place: noticing something underdesigned and wanting to fix it.
The projects are different but the approach is the same — start with what's missing, figure out what it should be, then make it as well as possible with whatever's available.
Growing up in Malaysia means growing up multilingual by default. Japanese came later — studied to JLPT N3 out of genuine interest and a lot of anime.
