About Me

Linked-In Link Student Website Link

Hello, I'm Dinusha! I am a go-getter, hardworking and exploring how social design can be a force for good.

As a newly minted Bachelor of Design - Visual Communication (Dean's Scholars) graduate, I am eager to produce designs that are not only visually compelling but engage diverse audiences, challenge perspectives, and embrace our differences.

I apply what you might like to call a transdisciplinary approach to my work. This is because, in addition to my current degree, I have also worked as a professional accountant for eleven years and I am continuing my quest for knowledge with a Master of Research in 2024.

Better Together: A refugee youth mentoring program

See the project!
Better Together is a peer mentor program designed to increase the rates of high school students from refugee backgrounds entering tertiary education. My research indicated that young teenagers from refugee backgrounds lack the support to plan for, and initiate a tertiary education pathway, which results in underrepresentation in Australian Universities. Better Together connects students from Western Sydney University from refugee backgrounds (mentors) with high school students from refugee backgrounds (mentees) to inspire, support and motivate tertiary education dreams.

Better Together is a robust package that includes branding and style guide, a social media campaign, a mentor and mentee manual, website, and event merchandise.
