Founder · Project Lead · Client Success Lead

I’m the founder of Designer Craft International, and I personally lead every project we take on. When someone works with us, they work directly with me. I make sure the work is done properly, the goals are clear, and the outcome makes sense for your business.

I handle communication, planning, and final reviews, so nothing gets lost in translation. I like to keep things simple and honest. If something works, I’ll tell you. If it doesn’t, I’ll tell you that too.

My focus is on delivering good-quality digital work at a price that feels reasonable.

Creative Lead · Video & Motion

I’m the Creative Lead at Designer Craft International. I have over four years of hands-on experience in on-site content creation, video editing, animation, and building high-performing ad creatives.

Most of my work starts with understanding how the content will actually be used. I focus on capturing and creating visuals that feel authentic, not staged. Then I shape them into videos and creatives that are clear, engaging, and built to perform.

I’m currently in my final year studying Computer Science, and I also have experience in front-end development. That technical background helps me understand how design connects with websites, apps, and user experience.

For me, good creative work is not just about looking impressive. It needs to support the brand, communicate the message clearly, and deliver results.

Web & Application Developer

I’m a Full-Stack Developer at Designer Craft International, currently in my third year studying BSc in Information Systems. I focus on building modern, scalable web applications that are practical, efficient, and aligned with real business needs.

My work covers both WordPress development and full-stack application development. I use Java, Spring Boot, MERN stack, Next.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL to create reliable, scalable digital systems.

In WordPress, I specialise in theme customisation, performance optimisation, and developing responsive, conversion-focused websites that support business goals rather than just looking good.

For me, good development comes down to clean architecture, user-friendly experiences, and solving problems in a way that delivers real impact.

Multimedia Designer

I’m a Multimedia Designer at Designer Craft International, and I focus on turning trends into content that actually performs. I spend time researching what’s trending across platforms and finding creative ways to bring those ideas to life for each brand.

I’m currently in my final year studying Applied Science, and I have over two years of hands-on experience in trending video editing and content creation.

Most of my work is centred around short-form videos designed for reach, engagement, and shareability. I pay close attention to timing, pacing, and platform behaviour, because good content is not only about visuals.

Seeing content gain strong reach and traction across social media is what drives me. My goal is always to create videos that feel fresh, relevant, and built for real audience response.

Accounts & Client Support

I support Designer Craft International with accounting, client assistance, and the day-to-day details that help projects stay organised.

My role includes helping with client communication, payment details, project notes, admin support, and keeping important information clear for the team.

I also assist with client communication and general admin support, helping make sure messages are followed up, information is recorded correctly, and project-related details do not get missed.

Thadi

Purr-ject Supervisor

His name comes from the Sinhala phrase “Pus Thadiya,” which is a fun way of saying a cute, chunky cat.

He mostly hangs around the workspace, keeps everyone company, and makes sure the team takes breaks when needed.

While he may not answer emails or edit websites, Thadi has an important place in the DC workspace as the team’s tiny supervisor, mood booster, and quiet little reminder that every good project needs a pause between the pixels.
