With two decades of multidisciplinary design behind him, Kester has helped shape the brand and strategic direction of some of Malaysia’s most forward-thinking institutions. His clientele spans the culinary arts (Michelin-starred Dewakan), education and innovation (FrogAsia, YTL AI Labs), social enterprises (YTL Foundation, Mangosteen, Hospis Malaysia, Early Autism Project), and communities of faith (Alpha, HTBB, Calvary Church). A generalist by design and a seeker by nature, Kester works at the intersection of branding, philosophy, spirituality and art—bridging ideas, disciplines, and the human spirit. Whether shaping community engagements or crafting cultural resonance, his work is defined by depth, clarity, and an insistence on meaning.
