About
I’m a self-taught children’s book illustrator and character designer from Sri Lanka, focused on bringing warm, expressive stories to life with richly imagined worlds. With 1.5 years of hands-on freelance and subcontracted experience, I’ve illustrated complete picture books end-to-end—from character design and cover-to-cover interiors to activity pages and launch-ready promo artwork.
I enjoy owning the whole creative pipeline, starting from brainstorm and sketching through line art, color, detail, and final polish for publish-ready delivery. I also create frame-by-frame 2D animated shorts to add motion to characters and storybook scenes, and I’ve built companion book-launch websites that match the visual mood of the artwork.
