Devaka Perera | Artist & Designer
Hi there, and welcome to my corner of the web!
I am a self-taught, independent artist & designer, hailing from Colombo, Sri Lanka, and currently on my 22nd year, as a branding/design consultant, & web-developer.
I’m a firm believer that learning never ends, and my journey as an artist & designer continues, mindful of an ever-changing creative & technological eco- system.
I have successfully completed branding & web projects, campaigns, promotions, & consulted for multiple well-established businesses, start-ups, & prominent personalities within the niche art, fashion, & nightlife industry.
I strive to adhere strictly to a code of precision, efficiency, & artistry, which has helped me grow a portfolio which currently includes the Sri Lankan, as well as the Australian, French, New Zealand, Canadian, and UK market. I make sure anyone i work alongside, shares my drive and goals.
I am currently working on several art projects, which I hope will inspire the freelancer eco-system, as well as motivate youth, and encourage them to pursue creative means of expression!
I divide my free time between exploring new venues in the city, experimenting with styles of illustration, & finding new ways to annoy the cat.
