Hello!

I’m Rakitha Perera and i’m a Digital Designer who’s obsessed with creating clean and elegant designs. Born in Colombo, Sri Lanka, I immigrated to the United States with my family in 2002. I now live in Las Vegas, Nevada and currently work as a Graphic Designer in the Office of Information Technology at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. In addition to my primary work duties, I also serve as an instructor at the UNLV Continuing Education department.

I have a B.S. in Graphic Design and Media from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I also hold multiple certifications including Photoshop CC ACE (Adobe Certified Expert), Adobe Certified Web Specialist, and Clark County Commercial Design Certification. However, before my design degree, I spent several years in the Electrical Engineering program before switching to Graphic Design. There I had the opportunity to be involved in some amazing projects which led me to being part of Dronesmith Technologies, a drone startup based in Henderson, Nevada. Combined with my engineering background and my desire to pursue design, I am very capable of bridging the gap between technology and art. I also have years of experience in photography, film making, web design and UI/UX.

With close to two decades of experience in the design industry, my goal is contribute my knowledge and skills to the best of my ability to elevate any project im involved with to their maximum potential.
