About me
Designer by craft,
builder by curiosity
I'm Tharaka Jay — a freelance designer from Sri Lanka who refused to pick just one lane. I started in Photoshop, fell in love with branding, then got tired of handing mockups to developers and watching the details die in translation. So I learned to build.
Today I work across four crafts: logo & graphic design, social media management, full-stack & app development, and AI exploration. One person accountable for the whole thing — from the first sketch to the shipped product.
I also write practical books under my Ceylon Crest imprint — step-by-step guides that have helped thousands of Sri Lankans learn design, office skills and business.
The four crafts
One mind, four disciplines
01
Logo & Graphic Designer
My first craft. I design logos and identity systems — not just marks, but typography, colour and rules that keep a brand consistent from a favicon to a signboard.
02
Social Media Manager
I run brand accounts on a system: content pillars, weekly batching, scheduling and honest reporting. Growth you can measure, not vanity numbers.
03
Full-Stack & App Dev
Development is my passion and my laboratory. I take on select web & app projects — Next.js for the web, Flutter for apps, Supabase behind it all — designed and built with obsessive care. A craft I love, offered to clients who value quality over volume.
04
AI Explorer
My lab. AI visuals, Sinhala voiceovers, print upscaling pipelines and prompt systems — everything I learn feeds back into client work.
