About

I’m a fashion design and retail professional based in Auckland with a Bachelor of Fashion and Textile Design and a completed Master of Management. I enjoy creating seasonal fashion collections and bringing ideas to life through thoughtful design, styling, and photoshoot planning, while also staying closely connected to customers and brand presentation in retail.

With experience in visual merchandising, store presentation, and day-to-day retail operations, I love creating an inviting customer experience and ensuring products are displayed beautifully. I’ve supported volunteer retail roles and led fashion work as a co-founder and designer in Sri Lanka, combining creativity with strong team coordination, customer handling, and practical execution.
