ANAGI GUNASEKERA
· Creative Learning Experience Designer · Educator · Musician
Hi, I’m Anagi!
I’m a 100% International Vice-Chancellor’s Scholar at Deakin University, currently completing my final year in Education and Visual Communication Design.
I bring together education, design, technology and creativity to create inclusive, engaging and human-centred learning experiences, with a particular interest in playful learning, digital experiences and music.
Where My Worlds Meet
Education × Design × Technology × Music
I don’t see these as separate areas. Each changes the way I think about the others.
EDUCATION
I draw on learning theory, inclusive practice, learner-centred pedagogy and evidence-informed approaches to design experiences around how people actually learn.
DESIGN
Visual communication helps me turn ideas, information and educational content into experiences that are clear, engaging, accessible and enjoyable to interact with.
TECHNOLOGY
I’m interested in how digital tools, educational technology, AI, web experiences and interactive media can thoughtfully support learning - not simply because they are new, but because of what they can enable learners to do, create, explore and understand.
MUSIC
Music, storytelling, games, imagination and play continue to shape the way I teach and design. They remind me that meaningful learning can also be joyful, expressive and deeply human.
Student Leadership
My interdisciplinary way of working also extends beyond the things I design. It shapes how I listen, collaborate, facilitate and support others.
Through peer mentoring, student engagement, careers education and leadership, I’ve worked alongside university students from diverse backgrounds and stages of study, supporting them through transitions, career exploration, opportunities and decisions about their next steps.
These experiences have strengthened my interest in human-centred practice - understanding people’s needs, creating space for different perspectives, and designing experiences where others can participate, grow and flourish.

My Creative-Educational Foundations
Before I encountered learning design, I was already exploring many of its ingredients through music, storytelling, teaching, leadership, creativity and community. My early experiences across academics, performance, peer teaching, school communities and creative projects shaped the way I now think about learning - not only as achievement, but as connection, confidence, expression, growth and positive change.
These foundations continue to influence how I bring education, design, technology and music together in the learning experiences I create today.
