Watch or read my story...
I grew up in a cozy little town nestled in the hill country of Sri Lanka.
Surrounded by mountains and beautiful waterfalls, I found endless inspiration in nature…
From a young age, I loved to draw.
I spent hours sketching in my notebooks, and every time I pick up a paintbrush, it feels like a trip back to my childhood.
Doodling has been a passion of mine since those early days, and I still practice it to improve my skills.
As I grew older, I dreamed of turning my love for art into a career.
Before finishing my degree, I began my journey as a UI/UX Designer.
I worked with various companies, gaining valuable experience and building my portfolio.
I focused on creating interfaces that are not only beautiful but also practical.
I graduated with a Bachelor in Information Technology from the University of Colombo.
By then, I had about two years of experience as a UX designer, which gave me a head start in the industry.
Now, I’m stepping into my 10th year in this field.
Throughout my career, I’ve crafted elegant designs for web and mobile products, working with everyone from startups to multinational corporations.
Now at La Trobe University, I’m grateful for the beautiful campus and supportive team.
Every lunch break, I enjoy the scenic trails and the lovely park full of birds.
Being part of a team that celebrates every success like family is a true blessing!
I feel lucky to do what I love every day!
