I’m Kathleen

With over 11 years of experience in international trade, I’ve built my career across borders — starting in China, growing in Malaysia, and now expanding toward the United States.
As the founder of a thriving home goods company based in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, I specialize in sourcing, developing, and exporting everyday essentials with both functionality and aesthetic appeal. From kitchen appliances to smart storage, our products serve customers across Southeast Asia.
Currently, I’m spearheading an in-depth exploration of Malaysia’s manufacturing and supply chain landscape — uncovering local strengths, global opportunities, and strategic alternatives to traditional sourcing hubs like China.
This platform documents my journey as an entrepreneur, supply chain strategist, and soon-to-be U.S. market entrant — offering insights, case studies, and real stories from the heart of Southeast Asia.
