Charith Priyadarshana

Senior Graphic Designer

Doha, Qatar
I help purpose-driven individuals & businesses to develop brands and craft brilliant digital experiences by delivering precise, hard-hitting solutions that inspire business and drive impact.

I believe design has the power to shape meaningful human experiences. I’m passionate about expressing values of honesty, authenticity, and simplicity through my work. I’ve spent the past 10 years helping launch and reimagine businesses for today’s digital world.

"I believe in the power of thinking small. In being real rather than perfect. In making designs for humans, not just for "consumers." In talking and smiling with people, not at them. In taking risks and breaking rules. In making mistakes and learning from it. In celebrating simplicity and loving what I do."
