A Fintech App, Pixel by Pixel
A case study in which Oshada builds a fintech UI from the ground up and justifies every decision, whether or not anyone asked him to.

Oshada Seneviratne, A.K.A. Spark, is a designer, developer, and creator. He works in UX, where visual design is the part he is actually good at.
How he ended up here
He started as a graphic designer and drifted into advertising, which is where design stopped being a matter of taste and started being slightly alarming: the things he made were visibly changing what people felt and did. Chasing that took him into UX, which is the same question asked closer to the machine. Visual design is where he stopped drifting.
When the laptop is shut
Music, books, films, and long walks. The walks are where the thinking happens, which is inconvenient, because none of it is written down until he gets back. A fair amount survives the trip and ends up on the blog.
