Ernie Kahlen

Co-Founder

With over 25 years of experience in the real estate industry, I’ve built my career by understanding every facet of the business. My journey began in the West of Scotland, where I immersed myself in the technical and marketing aspects of real estate before becoming a residential valuer at just 20 years old.

After 12 successful years with Scotland’s leading independent real estate agency, I returned to my birthplace, Berlin, in 2008. Since then, I’ve been deeply involved in the Berlin real estate market, working across acquisitions, project development, planning, permitting, and sales. I’ve led high-performing sales teams, advised private property developers, and served as a legal procurist for investment funds.

I co-founded BONDST Studio, recognizing that many real estate companies lack an in-house team to support their branding and marketing needs. At BONDST, we help real estate professionals build strong, consistent brands that resonate with their audience, ensuring their success in an increasingly competitive market.

Shawn Kwek

Co-Founder

With over 20 years of experience in brand development, I understand what it takes to build a brand from the ground up. After moving to New York City in my 20s, I worked my way up from an internship at a PR agency to becoming the Director of Marketing for a luxury hospitality brand. 

My approach to building a brand goes beyond just the visuals or marketing campaigns. It’s about the strategy that forms the foundation of a brand’s success. Every brand should reflect the core of who they are, aligning their values with their message.

Today, I help real estate professionals confidently present themselves, ensuring they move forward with a brand that truly represents who they’re meant to be.

What our clients are saying…

"Professional, knowledgeable, timely, and proactive are what come to mind when working with BONDS Studio. They were extremely responsive and engaging during the whole process of building my new real estate website. Their proactiveness in seeking out additional information for the site and to gain a better understanding of our market in general was beyond the scope of the project, but added great value to it. I couldn’t recommend them enough and look forward to our next project together."
