A Creative Visionary with a Heart.

Working with Kal was an incredibly fulfilling experience, both professionally and personally. As a model on one of his brand campaigns, I was deeply impressed by his creative direction and the clarity of his vision. But what truly stood out was his kindness and collaborative spirit. Kal doesn’t just direct a shoot, he creates an environment where every voice is heard, making the entire team feel valued. His ability to balance professionalism with genuine human connection is rare. Even beyond our project, he has continued to be a supportive presence in my journey, always offering thoughtful guidance whenever I have needed it. Kal isn’t just shaping powerful visuals, he is helping shape people too.

Designer with Heart and Purpose

Working with Kal was a truly inspiring experience. From the very beginning, his calm presence and genuine care created a space of trust and collaboration. He listened deeply, valued every perspective and approached each detail with intention. His vision goes far beyond aesthetics. It is about meaning, sustainability and human connection. I felt not only creatively supported but also seen and understood. Kal doesn’t just design, he brings people and ideas together in a way that feels honest, thoughtful and deeply aligned with something bigger.

Invaluable!

I worked with Kal as apart of ASOTY 2022 and 2023. Throughout my time in working with Kal, I learnt the invaluable significance of gratitude and resilience, mental and physical, within the fashion industry. I found Kal’s wealth of knowledge and experience a pillar in my growth and self development as a creative. I find even now myself still utilising the foundations laid by Kal and my time within ASOTY.

His warmth, creativity, and the way he cheers for everyone around him are genuinely inspiring.What I admire most is how he has built a brand that celebrates sisterhood, individuality, and strength. His vision and authenticity make Unmoda so much more than just fashion. It is a movement.

Extraordinary.

“Kal is an excellent orator and brand strategist. An amazing human who understands business & brand-building. Very candid & honest in sharing his opinion and trustworthy advice.”

Progressive.

“My experience working with Kal for last 5 years on multiple endeavours has been insightful, transformative and rewarding.
With a passionate attitude and wise, business savvy mind, Kal continues to progress in all projects with sustainability and connection at the centre of his work.

Kal has facilitated many opportunities for me to gain experience and confidence in the fashion industry. There are many valuable skills not only a model, but an entrepreneur needs, to be successful in their career. This includes leadership, communication, critical thinking, empathy, purpose, integrity and determination; Kal has consistently modelled these traits. More specifically, Kal practices empathy. With his caring and generous attitude he often considers the needs of others before his own and actively uplifts his team. Through his guidance I was able to develop such characteristics and it has taken me far.

I consider Kal not only as a friend but a mentor and will be forever grateful for the work experience, life lessons and character building he has guided me through.”

Kind.

“My experiences working with Kal began as a supportive mentorship, and have developed into a genuine and life long friendship. Kal not only has the vast experience across several industries, but he has the qualities that are often hard to find in a successful professional. He sees the best in people, and brings to light an individual’s strength and beauty of their uniqueness. He cares for the success of his colleagues and mentees, but not for the sacrifice of integrity and team work. Kal’s influence has persisted beyond my modelling career. I intent to emulate his character and kindness in my career as a doctor.”
