I live in Belfast, Northern Ireland at the moment, but I’m originally from Sri Lanka.
I used to be a businessman by day. I co-founded two companies with my friend Pavithra. One is a clothing company called Bear Appeal, making comfortable clothing––t-shirts, socks, boxer briefs––for people who are not into fashion. Yes, you read that right. Bear Appeal’s focus is on making you comfortable, not on making a fashion statement. The other company, Bear Supply Global, is a manufacturing operation that makes Bear Appeal branded clothing.
By night, I wear many hats.
I design movie posters as a hobby. This is my portfolio on Behance. If you’d like to buy a digital copy, you can do so here. Prints are also available for purchase.
I podcast with my friend Himal. Our podcast is called The Bad Take. You can support us on Patreon if you enjoy our content.
I help out the folks (my friends Himal, Rajni and Jo) at Debas.lk. Debas is a writing platform which brings together diverse perspectives on Sri Lankan politics, economy, society and culture.
And finally, although I’m not very good at it, I write occasionally.
A full overview of my work history, educational background, and the projects I’ve been involved in can be found on my LinkedIn profile.
