kéceramics | Rosmah Yaakub

Rosmah Yaakub, the key person behind kéceramics, graduated with a bachelor degree of urban planning in Sydney, Australia, where she spent the better part of her young impressionable adult life working part-time during her final years, in the city’s various harbor cafes, restaurants and retail outlets.

Her artistic inclinations, though noted during her teenage years in school through her regular doodles, sketches and patterns; was never developed or encouraged until she contemplated staying a few more years in Sydney upon her graduation, to continue enjoying the city’s harbor-walks, flea-markets and carefree lifestyles. Getting her student visa further extended by doing an interior designing course was top-most on her mind then. But family commitments and other personal factors prompted her to finally return to Malaysia for good after a solid seven years of life down-under.

Upon returning home, her restless mind and artistic inclinations continued and henceforth, influenced her choices of employment. From her first job of mundane transport planning analyses, she jumped into housing development layouts, then persuaded her departmental head to let her get briefly involved in the initial design & planning stages of an international island resort. She later requested her employers to allow her to join the architectural consultant who was actually an associate company handling the architectural design-concept of the resort, hoping that her creative juices would be fully sapped.
