How I got here

I started as a software engineer, learning how things get built. Then I got far more curious about why people use them. So I moved into UI/UX — and I’ve been designing the moments people actually feel ever since.

Beyond the pixels

A designer who builds.

I’m Dulanjaya — a multidisciplinary designer in Ipswich, UK. Eight years across UI/UX, product, brand and front-end, from Colombo to the UK.

I turn complex ideas into interfaces people understand, backed by design systems teams can ship. I use AI as a creative partner to explore faster — the judgement about what’s right for people stays human.

Off-screen: cycling, photography, and long walks in the woods with my best friend.
