Bio
Suresh Dissanayake
He is very creative and innovative with his design concepts and always has new and fresh ideas. I was always impressed with the way he would allow the designer to work without smothering his creativity. He is flexible and very knowledgeable about all aspects of design.
Shuaib Shariffdeen
I worked with Samitha at Aitken Spence Hotels for almost 7+ years. He was my desk neighbor and I had the privilege's of shadowing and learning creative design through him. He is a person who would invest his time in teaching someone his wealth of knowledge. During my tenure at Aitken Spence we worked on several projects together and hands down, he's an individual who is very versed in his field and has a fine skill to successfully execute strategies and his ability to work under pressure is highly noteworthy. I would definitely recommend him to your next project/ organization as he will be a great contribution to your team.
