USk Instructor
Like many urban sketchers, KK recalls drawing from an early age. Later, during his architecture studies, he felt an inclination to graphic design. “I liked to prepare and do presentations.” Soon after, his own design business was running, which he kept for 14 years. In 2009, KK became the Penang correspondent in the USk blog, and together with his friend Khoo Cheang Jin, founded and administers the seven-year-old USk Penang chapter. The “small island in the north of the Malaysian Peninsula is a very multicultural place”, KK reports. “You can have a mosque and a church right next door to each other. I spent my childhood there, so getting to sketch it is a very emotional experience for me.”
