Charuni Bandara

I am a visionary textile innovation specialist, creative designer, and brand strategist from Sri Lanka, with a globally focused outlook. I’m currently pursuing a degree in fashion design and product development, specializing in textile design and advanced garment engineering. My expertise spans seamless knitting, compression technology, and technical pattern drafting, with hands-on experience using Shima Seiki flatbed knitting machines.

I’ve collaborated with leading brands and athletes, adapting performance-focused garment solutions for both streetwear and sportswear. Passionate about cultural storytelling, eco-conscious design, and inclusive symbolism, I integrate sustainability and creativity into every project. My portfolio reflects a deep love for batik artistry alongside cutting-edge textile innovation, bridging tradition with modernity.

Driven by curiosity and ambition, I am actively researching AI-focused Master’s programs to merge fashion with technology, aiming to pioneer new intersections between design and artificial intelligence. Beyond my technical skills, I thrive in collaborative environments, value clear and structured communication, and bring a youthful, socially impactful vision to my work.
