one person, the whole stack.

I'm Shasha, a designer and developer working out of Colombo. I run a one-person practice, which means the person you brief is the person who designs it, builds it, and answers the phone when something breaks.

Most of my work sits in the gap between design and engineering — the place where good ideas usually get diluted. Because I do both, nothing gets handed over and lost. A layout that would be a nightmare to make responsive never gets drawn in the first place. A performance budget is not a nice-to-have discovered at launch; it is a constraint from the first wireframe.

I work directly with founders and business owners, and as a subcontractor for agencies who need a safe pair of hands on design or build. Both are good work. Both get the same standard.

When I'm not billing, I'm writing about the practice or picking apart someone else's interface for sport.
