Artist. Designer. Maker. Daydreamer. Procrastinator. Life lover.
After dabbling in the publishing and advertising industries, Kuanth answered his calling and became a freelance illustrator in 2002.
Kuanth loves old stuff with a history — flea markets are his favourite haunts for hidden gems and inspirations. He also appreciates all things handmade especially crafts passed down from generation to generation.
Mixing art and design with food, Kuanth opened a homely and quirky cafe called Caramel with a few friends, serving hearty homemade food and offering a selection of vintage products.
His latest venture is Pentomime https://www.instagram.com/the_pentomime/ — a creative outlet inspired by the everyday life, specialising in designing and selling Asian-themed lifestyle accessories.
Kuanth lives with his 13-year-old fur child Noody in a house full of plants.
