Passion Projects

A Bit About Rusiru

For the past 10 years I have been immersed in tech, art, and design. Growing up in an artistic family helped me discover my knack for fine art and creativity from an early age.

I really enjoy being part of the design and art community. I honed in on digital product design during my time at my alma mater, University of Waterloo; where I co-founded two student communities called Creators Collective (Tech / UX Talks, Multi-media Gallery, & Magazine) and GBDA Creators (Talent Spotlight Series). My passion for tech & design has been exponentially growing ever since.

I also fuel my creativity by going on camping, portaging trips to plein air paint. Observing, capturing, and understanding the science behind nature. It mesmerizes my idiosyncratic desire to learn the art and design of our world; help improve peoples standards of living.

Recommendatations

Henry Chu
User Interface Manager at Canadian Tire

“Working with Ru is a pleasure, he is professional, self-driven, mature and creative. He is able to work independently or collaborate within a team (agile). He is highly skilled in both User experience design (wire framing, prototyping) and user interface design (pixel perfect) on both mobile and web. He works well with developers and always delivers on time. I highly recommend him."

Gary Chan
Sr. Product designer | A11y Advocate

"Ru's smile and positive energy is infectious. He is a true synergistic team player and makes any team he's on shine. It goes without saying that any team would be lucky to have him on their team. This goes beyond his great attitude. He is praised for his abilities as a Designer by everyone and you’ll recognize his work by the detail and aesthetic that comes with a Ru piece.It's a wonder to see how he maintains a level of humility and trainability even though he is rock star Design pro. Would love to get to work with him again and wish Ru all the best."

Shivjot Baidwan
Senior Product Owner at CaseWare

"I collaborated with Rusiru on a few different projects throughout his tenure at CaseWare IDEA. He is an extremely organized individual with great attention to detail. Rusiru successfully helped in implementing consistent iconography for a legacy desktop product as well as designed interactive workflows for new features."

Raushan Farjan
UX Team Lead at Canadian Tire

"Since working as the sole UI designer on a significant website redesign, Ru has contributed to numerous integrations on a national e-commerce experience. Ru's creative, curious, reliable, and an excellent team member. He has extensive knowledge of design systems and effectively uses components to build scalable, accessible interfaces."

Marlene Aubin
Product Design Lead at CaseWare

I had the good fortune to work with Ru at CaseWare on a few projects, and he is a very talented and inspiring team contributor who's creativity and attention to detail is outstanding. I would recommend Ru for any design position and hope our paths cross again in the future.
