Vinara Hettiarachchi

Hi, I’m Vinara Hettiarachchi, a creative and driven student from Sri Lanka with a passion for fashion and international business. I began with an engineering mindset and design experience, then pivoted toward commerce with a focus on sustainability, aiming to help move Sri Lanka’s fashion industry toward a more responsible future. I love expressing style through practical projects and collaborating with diverse teams to bring ideas to life.

As the founder of NARA by Vi, I lead branding, marketing and content collaborations while building partnerships with customers and creators. I’ve contributed to school clubs and completed a BTEC Engineering course, and I’m pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce in International Business at Otago. I’m eager to connect with like-minded people who can inspire me to grow and make a real impact.
