Akhila Damsari

Front-End Developer


I'm a designer and developer who is not afraid of stepping out of the comfort zone and thinking outside of the box. I'm a curious person who likes to challenge my abilities and learn always. I love being positive and I believe life always have a way of working things out.

Akhila Damsari

Front-End Developer

I’m a Front-End Developer, UI/UX designer and a Freelance Graphic Designer based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. I’m the type of a girl who prefers blue over pink. Also a bit of a weirdo with a knack to find easier and better ways to solve every problem (I mean even cleaning my own room). I solemnly believe that design and creativity can make peoples’ lives much easier than it already is. I like everything organized in a way that I don’t have to remember much. I’m a determined and hard working soul who believes we can change our destinies as we deem fit.

Outside of my full-time commitments, I work with a selected freelance client base to create amazing products and solutions. My life so far has shaped me up to be optimistic, determined and hard working. I grew up with two younger brothers so I have a lifetime of practice being a team player. All the milestones and accomplishments in my life once appeared to be impossible. You can say I’m a sailor made of a rough sea.
