SHEHAN THILAKARATHNA
UX ENGINEER
01

I design with
intent.

I'm Shehan Thilakarathna — a UX Engineer living at the intersection of design and code. I build interfaces that feel inevitable, not just functional.

My work spans design systems, motion, and brand identity — always rooted in Swiss precision and brutalist honesty. Every pixel is a decision.

WHAT CLIENTS
SAY

"

Shehan doesn't just design — he engineers experiences. The design system he built scaled from 3 to 40 engineers without a single breaking change.

ALEX MORGAN
Head of Product, Axiom
"

Working with Shehan felt like having a co-founder who happened to be a world-class designer. He understood the business, not just the pixels.

PRIYA CHEN
CEO, Nova Labs
"

The motion system Shehan created became the soul of our brand. Every animation tells a story. Our users noticed immediately.
