Digital Needs

I am Madhuka De Silva

I am dedicated to collaborative design, working alongside people (or users), researchers, and developers. My qualitative research and design emphasises inclusion, equity, and respect for diverse abilities, cultures, and identities. I thrive in partnerships with like-minded individuals who share this commitment. Thank you for exploring my work and joining this meaningful journey.

I acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which I live and work. I pay my respects to Elders past and present and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters, culture, and knowledge systems. I honour their rich history of storytelling, movement, and design that continues to inspire and shape our shared future.
