At DDNI got experience in schematic design work, coordination amongst contractors and suppliers, communication with project teams and field work at site. The training and the exposure at DDN Design under the supervision of Architect Dipika, is an amazing learning experience!” Currently Chathuri is working on a massive design project for a holiday home in Victoria Golf Digana- a project that has given her the creative freedom to explore contemporary Sri Lankan interior styles.
Chathuri says that her Interior Design degree at AOD was an exceptionally well-rounded one that helped her achieve a successful career; “from international design approach in using colour and light, handling spaceto communication skills, planning, time management, sharing knowledge and respecting others’ opinions AOD taught me everything I needed to start off as an interior designer.”
She adds that AOD is a platform to promote freedom of design with an “Out of the Box” approach to the field eliminating traditional methods and theories that Sri Lanka has seen for years. Chathuri also thanks the
