Thimira Samarakoon
Designer, UI/UX Designer, and Animator in Colombo, Srilanka
I’m a multidisciplinary designer and digital marketer with over 5 years of hands-on experience across UI/UX design, social media design, animation, branding, web design, and social media marketing. I work at the intersection of design, strategy, and technology to create digital products that are not only visually strong but also meaningful and effective.
My workflow is powered by industry-standard tools including Figma, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Canva, and Affinity Designer, allowing me to move seamlessly from concept to final execution. I use different design approaches and tools based on the problem — not a one-formula method — to ensure each outcome feels purposeful and refined.
Over the past five years, I’ve collaborated with companies and products across Europe and America, mainly including a Brussels-based company, US clients, multiple Canadian product teams, and branding and design support for a UK company. These experiences have shaped my ability to adapt to different markets, audiences, and design standards.
I don’t consider myself a “standard” designer. While many follow familiar design paths, I actively look for new directions—ways to rethink visuals, interactions, and brand experiences. My goal is to create work that feels unique, thoughtful, and forward-looking, while ensuring every client and stakeholder is genuinely satisfied with the final result.
I’m driven by curiosity, experimentation, and the belief that good design should challenge expectations — not just follow trends.
