Mixing hands-on design with team leadership is where I do my best work.

Hi there 👋 I’m Dinuka! A Frontend Developer turned Product Designer with over 10 years of experience in B2B SaaS. From end-to-end design to leading teams and driving design strategy, I focus on creating sustainable, user-centred solutions that deliver real business value.

My background includes working with both start-ups and large international technology companies, and I like to think my approach brings the best of both worlds. I can move fast without chaos and implement structure without slowing things down.

Design

As a product designer, I have developed an eye for solving complex problems using design. Most of my experience lies in B2B and B2B2C areas where I am experienced not only creating products that work well for users but also align properly with business goals.

People

Working with people is an important skill in any line of work. And that is one thing I am very passionate about. Leading teams and creating positive team culture are two things I enjoy and I’ve often received praise in those areas.

Communication

Away from the screens, I am a Toastmaster, a public speaker. Be it talking at an event or a simple presentation at work, this experience has given me the confidence in communication to convey my ideas clearly to different audiences.

Innovation

Having been a founding member and spending time in start-ups of different stages have made me independent, adaptable, innovative and understanding the dynamics of success-driven, fast-paced work settings.

When I am not in deep thoughts of solving problems, I enjoy playing some badminton, taking photographs and admiring automobiles. To find out about my journey where cars meet photography, visit my profile on Glass.
