Hello! I am Kenneth from hot and humid Singapore. I am currently working as a Deaf freelance illustrator. I am Deaf BUT I can speak and hear one-to-one. I will be happy to share with you my struggles and my perspective in life and my goals and what I am passionate about. I have worked as a jelly breeder and aquarium diver at SEA Aquarium for 2 years. I love travelling, sightseeing, learning and experiencing cultures from all over the world, playing adventurous and extreme sports (only limited to my metal implant- pressure in changes of altitude) Nevertheless, I am determined not to let my disability be in the way what I want to do. I have plenty of hobbyist activities- collecting pins/ badges/ figurines, drawing and painting. I am madly in love with wildlife so I can talk about any animal. :) Especially snakes and frogs from my area- Borneo, Singapore and Pennisular Malaysia. If you like to know about the ecology, conservation status, their beauty, I would be happy to share them with you! Currently I am mad about mammaling - furry nocturnal critters, swimming with whales and so on. I am an amateur photographer too, I take photos of animals, landscape, street and people! It is my dream to visit every country in the world - just like my idol, the 1st woman to visit 196 countries in the world: Cassie de Pecol You can find me on Instagram (@kennathchin @kcyaart @kenseeanimals) or Facebook (Kenneth Chin)
