From Graphic Designer to global motion products

A solopreneur story, still running.

I am a solopreneur who came into this industry as a graphic designer. Before the global product work, I was creating design content and building a learning circle called Graphic Temple.

Graphic Temple became one of the most active creative spaces around me at that time. After the COVID pandemic it stopped, but the teaching did not. I moved into online workshops and stayed connected with a lot of creative young bloods who wanted to learn design seriously.

Then I went a little quiet in Sri Lanka, haha, and started reaching globally. That shift pushed me deeper into UI design, motion graphics, Lottie production, and interactive Rive work.

Now UIAnimation.com is where my work comes together: UI/UX animation, web app motion, interactive products, client systems, and global product experiments like MascotEngine.com.

Personal timeline

Designer roots. Creator energy. Product direction.

The public work changed form over time, but the core stayed the same: teach, build, experiment, and turn motion into something useful for real products.
