About Me

I am Gayan Gunarathne, a design lead with a strong passion for technology, people, and the integration of AI to enhance product design. With 18 years of experience, I have established a robust track record in complex problem-solving and creating products that effectively align web and connected devices with user needs. By incorporating AI-driven insights, I have played a pivotal role in developing seamless product experiences that boost user engagement, attract new customers, and help organizations achieve their strategic objectives. My expertise encompasses UI/UX design across various sectors, including finance, healthcare, and education.

My design philosophy centers on the belief that great design is invisible—it solves problems so elegantly that users don't notice the complexity underneath. My approach combines strategic thinking with deep empathy for users, always asking "why" before "how."
