Hi there! Glad you found us here. While it is slightly regrettable that we cannot introduce ourselves to you in person, we hope that the stories of how we became Kindred Spirits ourselves will give you some insight into who we are. If this sparks joy in you and you feel inspired to drop us a note or even join us, please contact us at info@kindred.sg. We’d love to hear from you!
Our Team
Yann Yang
Yann Yang works in real estate, one of Singapore’s hottest sectors. He is an Associate Marketing Director with Propnex, the largest real estate agency in Singapore. For many, real estate is one of the biggest decisions we make in our lives and Yann Yang is all about helping people make right this decision whether for home, business, or investment.
Yann Yang was previously the Membership Services Manager at the Direct Marketing Association of Singapore (DMAS), a non-profit trade organisation with key areas in social media, search, email, mobile and data-driven marketing.
“Chun Hui and I attend the same church and we often talk about how much our mentor’s philosophy of cleaning the environment through cleaning first our heart and thoughts impacted us and the decisions we have come to make in our lives.
We are always bouncing ideas off each other, the big plans with which we were going to get on with but it was always coffee shop talk (over a cup of Milo Peng for him and Susu Halia with Roti Prata for me). Recently, Chun Hui came to me with the idea of starting Kindred and since there is a time for everything, I thought it was time we acted upon the inspiration of our younger years!”

Wendy Lee
Wendy has worn different hats, leaving her professional footprints in industries including hospitality and event management, training and education, and the non-profit sector. Her professional career is hard proof of her ability to be flexible and quick to adapt. Her passion is in growing the business, teams and communities that she serves, often seeing things and people not as what they are, but as what they can be. Wendy holds a Bachelor Degree in Applied Sciences, Hospitality Studies from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT).
“I’m not one to walk away from a problem. As much as Singapore has become a success story in many ways, there are fundamental issues that hinder us from becoming a true first-world society. Our lack of responsibility towards the environment is one striking example. We have to stop thinking it is someone else’s trash or problem. As long as no one does anything about it, it is going to be everyone’s problem.
The solution ultimately lies within each person. As long as we set our hearts on taking action till the end without giving up or giving in, we can surely make the world a better place for all. So when Chun Hui shared the inspiration and philosophy behind Kindred, it immediately resonated with me. And I believe that the power of a true civic movement can be phenomenal.
I am happy to channel my time and energy towards something that impacts lives and communities and I would like to encourage as many people as possible to do the same.”

Wong Sze Waiy
Much like how even Superheroes have to pay rent with day jobs (15 MOST MEMORABLE SUPER HERO DAY JOBS), you may bump into Sze Waiy in the CBD where she works as a Strategic Communications Consultant at FTI Consulting’s Singapore office, a global advisory firm. In her Strategic Communications function, Sze Waiy advises companies on areas of corporate reputation, media relations, public affairs and government relations. Sze Waiy holds a Bachelor in Business Management degree from the Singapore Management University, specializing in Corporate Communications and Legal Studies.
“I started full-time work last year and started living with very limited time resources. That was when I started thinking how I could live more with less time. Live more with less – this mantra, albeit cliché spilled over to the other parts of my life including many of my lifestyle choices. Who and what am I spending all my time, money, and resources on? When you start diving down into detail about these things, you suddenly become very aware of your decisions and the impact they create. It was as simple as realizing that one plastic bag goes to waste every time I buy my favourite Pork Floss Bun from the neighbourhood bakery – which I then finish eating in less than a minute. So I started using a non-disposable bottle, lunch bag, and utensils. Dr Suen saw me with my full arsenal of non-disposables one time and we started talking less-waste. When he mentioned looking for help at Kindred, I signed up.”


Wong Yi Xin
Yixin is your go-to person when you’ve got a tricky number sum you can’t quite add up. Despite her knack for numbers, it is her love for food that became her calling in the Food and Beverage industry. Yixin holds a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from Nanyang Technological University.
“My pastor in church once shared with me, ‘God is with you everywhere you go, so be sure to keep everywhere you go clean.’ I used to think that it would be a given for me, living in Singapore where we enjoy the international reputation of being clean and green. However, more often than not, Singapore is clean not out of an innate practice from Singaporeans but rather, out of the effort and hard work of the cleaners we employ.
Can we really say that we are a clean and green country after all? I cannot imagine how will it be when we do not have these people cleaning after us. Will Singaporeans be able to own their trash and still keep a clean environment?
As I pondered upon these questions, I heard about Kindred through a friend and how it was founded based on having “clean thoughts, clean actions, and a clean environment”. That really aligned with my beliefs in life so I did a #SAYNOMORE and put my name in.
