Iroshan De Zilva

UI UX Designer in Sri Lanka

Let me know if you want to talk about a potential collaboration. I’m available for freelance work.

A year ago

I help SaaS companies create designs that feel effortless for users—because great design should get out of the way.

I’ve been in the UI/UX world for over 7 years now, working with both scrappy startups and established brands. My journey started out of a simple curiosity for how design can solve real user problems. Now, I specialize in taking complex SaaS platforms and turning them into simple, intuitive experiences that people actually enjoy using.

One of my favorite projects was leading a redesign that not only boosted customer retention by 25%, but also made the product easier to learn, helping new users get up to speed faster. Seeing the impact of thoughtful design on actual business metrics is what fuels me.

I’m not looking for full-time roles at the moment, but I’m always up for interesting freelance or project-based work. If you’re building something that could use a designer’s touch—or just want to talk shop about UX trends—feel free to reach out.
