Projects
- Sri Lanka Textile ProjectIn this project, we have been creating textile designs based on drawings by Sri Lankan children. The textiles developed by designers with the children are used to create various products that then go on sale. We believe in the idea that Sri Lankan children can contribute to the development of their surroundings through textile design. Our project website was set up in October 2012, when the project moved from concept to reality. I’ve involved this project as a graphic and fashion designer to lau
- Imagine Your Story of FashionThe workshop was developed for people who are interested in fashion and story. Imaginable invited them to the workshop “Imagine Your Story of Fashion” 16th April 2014 at Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan. The workshop lead them to look at their clothes and styling by imagining stories. Participants are required to create their imaginative stories of a day, by using a number of story cards they create a style according to the story. Participants are required to share, re- create stories and stylings again to get a different perspective from others. In the end, each participant gave a piece of one item to another participant as a small gift, so as to give another viewpoint for themselves and anchor to find new realisation for them. The workshop was organised in collaboration with Jetset Closet which provides personal styling services in Tokyo and held at “coromoza”, a co-working space for fashion businesses at Harajuku sponsored by Choregate, Inc.
- Future of WorkCreating an animation to evoke the topic; effective engagement for a conference ‘Future of Work’ collaboration with Hot Spots Movement in 2014. Our focus was to support organisations with increasing their understanding of what drives employee engagement and how they can address these drivers using innovative practices from other industries? We developed an understanding of how workplaces function by gathering information through interviews with several employees in different companies, and we collected the key points which employee feel engaged with in their companies: Personal Motivation, Flexibility, Environment, Interaction with Co-workers and Immediate Managers. According to research insights and forecasts for technological development in 2030, we designed the story of Child design company in 2030; team leader tries but fails to connect with his team members. To make a strong comparison of characters and the extreme environment, this story tells the moral; the collective team has a shared responsibility in creating an engaging workplace.
