What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster creativity and innovation, where I can contribute to exciting projects and continue to grow my skills.

As a creative designer with over six years of experience, I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality design solutions across digital, print, and social platforms. My expertise spans graphic design, animation, video editing, and UI/UX design, allowing me to create unique visuals that align with brand goals. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about learning and problem-solving.

Currently, I am excelling in my role at Contola Global, where I design unique Amazon listing images for the German market and develop original visuals that resonate with target audiences. My experience includes managing social media content, crafting engaging marketing materials, and overseeing end-to-end project execution to ensure timely and quality delivery.

Having graduated from the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology with a BSc (Hons) in Information Technology, I specialize in Interactive Media. I am now seeking new opportunities that will allow me to grow further and contribute my skills to innovative projects.
