Thisuri Lokuhapuarachchi

Nine years of craft.
Every frame intentional.

I'm a multimedia designer specialising in video editing, art direction, and high-impact visual content. Over 9+ years I've worked across agencies, telecoms, and tech companies — leading teams, directing shoots, and producing content that moves people.

My process runs from brief to final frame: concept development, storyboarding, on-set art direction, post-production, and campaign delivery. I'm equally comfortable behind the camera, in the edit suite, or directing a photoshoot for a luxury jewellery brand.

I pick up new tools fast — from AI video generation to 3D sculpting — and genuinely enjoy figuring out what's possible with emerging tech. Problem-solving is where I do some of my best thinking.

I'm currently open to relocating to Dubai — and available for remote roles globally — with agencies and brands that value craft, speed, and creative ambition.
