About
I have always had a passion for design and in December 2011 I graduated in Bachelor of Interior Design from the Swinburne University of Technology Australia. I have worked as a freelance Exhibition Designer and a 3D Modelling artist for clients in Australia, Sri Lanka and Dubai.
Since January 2014, I operate a self-run design studio, under the name Talic Design. I also run a charity program called "Design for Unity", since 2012, which help improve drinking water and sanitary facilities of underprivileged schools in Sri Lanka.
