Bio

Lecturer in Human Centred Design (with the application of empathy).

Forever intrigued by ‘Why are you like this?’

Feet (formerly) dipped, submerged, and sometimes completely drowned in photography, copywriting for advertising, and journalism, I am currently lecturing at the Academy of Design.

Utilising my knowledge and experience working in different industries in Sri Lanka, and further establishing my strengths in research and concept development, I am deeply rooted in my hunt for designing for a people centric society.

My main interest in design is now fully focused on understanding why people behave the way they do, understanding the generation gap (especially cutting some slack to Gen Z), and how to convert their unique experiences into visual communication.

I believe that while niceness is overrated, kindness will and should never go out of style... And design based on empathy, will always hit that spot.

Current dig site: Are star signs accurate? Are people generally happier if they embody their star sign characteristics? Also, why am I sick of pizza? What exactly changed?

Chaotic Good, for life.
