An enthusiastic graphic designer who is passionate in delivering art in all his work. He provides freelance branding, graphic design and editorial design. Being humble and honest are his core beliefs.

He is trained to be expert in layout design which he flourishes his thoughts and ideas into forms and grids. He holds belief that "there is an art in whatever you do". He does involve heavily in branding as it remains as his most favourite piece of work.

While doing his degree in university, CK applied his internship programme in Naga DDB, one of Malaysia’s top advertising agency. Working in an advertising agency was not an easy task as you need to work over night most of the time. However, this did not stop CK from learning new skills. Being an intern visualiser, he was given the opportunities to involve in a few fearless projects such as Fear Factor Malaysia, Mini Gempak, Planet Gempak Carnival, etc. He was then being offered as a full-time basis designer. However, he took the chance to explore in branding and printing.

He was involved heavily in several print design and publication works such as brochure, flyer, annual report and corporate profile, to name a few. Also, he did website design. During his time at J&K Bands, he had served clients like SBC Corporation, EH Property, Asia Aerospace City (Malaysia’s First Aerospace Concept City), GreenAcres (Malaysia’s First Retirement Village) and ALFA College.

After 15 months' break from the advertising industry, CK took a U-turn path and joined a boutique advertising agency. It was a humble agency but with some brave clientele accounts. For the next few months, he joined heavily in brainstorming idea and concept. He worked closely with art directors and creative directors as well as copywriters to deliver the best ideas.

"You need to sell an idea that is aesthetically functional." he told himself. He clientele portfolio has again, expanded to different fields.

"CK is a very stubborn designer - but that's because he always wants what's best for your brand. He did an excellent job when I needed a brand identity for my company, Word Espress. I wanted my clients to get the impression that I "brew" words and that words should be enjoyed like a cup of finely brewed coffee. CK ended up creating a logo of a cup of coffee with a quill inside the cup acting like a stirrer/spoon. Check out my website at www.wordespress.net to see the logo! He had an undying passion to perfect his designs and is not content with mediocrity. I would recommend him to all who are seeking for creative brand identities and absolutely innovative, minimalist designs for their projects."
