Making good-looking things and things look good.
Hi there, I am Tuan Shehan - a Sri Lankan art and design director with a background in branding and advertising. Over the last 10 years, I have partnered with lifestyle and FMCG brands to produce beautifully crafted design solutions.
​
If you observe my work closely, you can see that most of them are based on typography and detailed design. This is a result of my unwavering passion for typography ever since I started my creative journey as a lettering artist. I combine this skill with my passion for solving problems brands face.
​
When it comes to acquiring skills, I'm a quick learner myself. This ability coupled with my curiosity, I have been able to put my creative skills into UI, Motion, and copywriting.
​
Working with several brands, agencies, and creatives has also given me skills in team management, presentation, and creative direction.
​
During my free time, you can find me lecturing students on typography and creative concepts.
