Nawodya Pasan ?

From a younger age, I developed a passion for arts & crafts, which allowed me to freely explore all things artistic such as music, painting, and fashion. Being in the design field working with various global brands, I have come to discover that my true passion lies in creating penny-worthy brand stories that elevate marketing efforts.

I grew up loving all things Sri Lanka, and I believe my ideas have a deep connection with the artistic & historical background of the country. Sitting under a shady tree, overlooking the calm ocean, and sipping on a cup of freshly brewed Ceylon tea, is where you will find me, in search of creative ideas that continue to help me to create brand stories graphically.
