Colombo, reimagined.
A city that became a stage. A movement that redefined Colombo’s story.
This was Sri Lanka Design Festival.
From stories to streets, from creators to communities, we didn’t just showcase design, we lived it.
This is what happens when a city creates together.
This is What’s Your Colombo.

Honoured to speak at the Sri Lanka Design Festival, presenting my design showcase and a dialogue on rethinking design beyond western frameworks, through the lens of South Asian art and design practices.
It was a privilege to exchange ideas with talented practitioners from India and Sri Lanka, share experiences, and learn from one another.
I look forward to returning to Sri Lanka to create and collaborate with the students of @aod_design .
Thank you @mooniakhq , @pathumego , @typethug , AOD, and the entire @sldesignfest team for the opportunity and for hosting such a meaningful platform.

My Colombo. Your Colombo. OUR Colombo.
Tanu Sinha, Director and Head of Design for PepsiCo India and South Asia, delivered an incredibly insightful session at the SLDF Design Dialogues.
With over two decades of experience shaping consumer centric brand experiences across India, South Asia and global markets, Tanu brought a rare depth of clarity, honesty and strategic thinking to the conversation. Drawing from her journey at PepsiCo and Nestlé, she unpacked how design thinking, cultural insight and creative rigor come together to drive meaningful innovation.
A global awards juror, mentor and advisor to leading design institutions, Tanu shared perspectives that resonated deeply with both established practitioners and emerging creatives in the room.
A remarkable dialogue that left our audience inspired, challenged and energised for the future of design.
