I'm an artist, animator, author and a sci-fi nerd from the central hills of Sri Lanka. Su Vida is a short form of my name.
I hold a Bachelor of Multimedia (Hons) Animation & VFX as well as several years of studio experience in animation/advertising. Since the pandemic, I've been working freelance for both local and international clients while developing my own IPs. My creative universe is made of quirky art, 2D animation and speculative fiction novels.
When I'm not drawing, animating, volunteering or crafting stories, you can find me geeking out over anime, video games and funky science.
I graduated from Multimedia University (MMU) Malaysia in 2016. While developing my final year project, I worked as a 2D & 3D art intern at Sunrisez Entertainment (formerly Frogtale Studio) in Sunway City. This is an animation/game art studio, where I did storyboarding as well as 3D modeling and texturing for Sam McHamm & the Kingdom of Foodoo.
After returning to Sri Lanka, I worked as a Digital Art Director at Wunderman Thompson in Colombo, where I produced digital art, animation, character design and content for some of Sri Lanka's biggest companies/brands, such as Sri Lanka Telecom, Pepsi, Sri Lankan Airlines and Hatton National Bank.
In November 2018, I started working as the Creative Director (remote) of an environmental organization called The Food You Choose (TFYC), an offshoot of Food Frontier, both of which are based in Melbourne. TFYC worked with global companies like the Compass Group and supplied sustainable food to Australian universities, schools and other public institutions. I was in charge of branding, design and content creation, with original artwork and motion graphics animation.
