TANISHA
WIJESINGHE
(Based in Australia and Sri Lanka)
Engineer-turned-designer focused on fintech transformation. Driven by Conscious Creation in all aspects of my life - designing with empathy, intention, and technical depth.
MY
FOUNDATION
I started my career as a software engineer at WSO2, building open banking solutions - the infrastructure that moves money invisibly, reliably, at scale.
From there, I joined a startup where I unintentionally fell into also being the designer. This is where I unlocked something I didn't know I had - the perfect amalgamation of what I was naturally good at (the arts) and what I'd spent years crafting (tech).
From there, I led design at Tabcorp (Australia's largest betting platform, 800K+ users) and Yondr Money, getting certified in UI/UX, Product Design, and Harvard FinTech along the way.
WHY AGNI
I truly believe that design is where problem-solving happens at the lowest cost to business - when it's done with a deep understanding of technical requirements and human needs.
What I am truly passionate about is simply solving problems.
Consulting became the way to offer that. To come in, understand, empathize, and help take organizations to the next level. To meet people with ideas they want to bring to life. Giving birth to new products, optimizing existing platforms - all of it drives me.
Why fintech specifically? Because financial systems are absolutely essential to every single human being - we need money to live, to access opportunity, to build better lives. If I'm designing with intention and consciousness for end users, this landscape becomes something that can truly make a difference.
Maybe it's helping the unbanked access financial services for the first time. Or creating a card issuing platform that brings transparency to an opaque industry. Whatever the scale, the impact matters.
This is what drew me to fintech. This is why I started AGNI.

Growing up, I explored the arts through performing - Kandyan dance, theatre, choir. I'm as comfortable on stage as I am in a boardroom.
I've been a brand ambassador, performed with Soul Sounds globally, immersed myself in Kandyan dance. I'm not very good at drawing, but I'm absolutely passionate about doodling anyway.
As a certified yoga teacher, I teach children and lead workshops on emotional regulation for students at school and university level. Through the Sudhaar Foundation, I teach theatre and storytelling weekly - working to empower young women within Sri Lankan youth communities.
I'm a Vipassana meditator. I own a small paddy field back home in Sri Lanka - a gentle reminder that the best systems, whether financial or agricultural, thrive when they work with natural rhythms, not against them.
These practices aren't separate from my work. They inform every decision. Meditation teaches presence with complex problems. Theatre teaches empathy. Movement keeps me grounded when designing million-dollar transformations.
This is Conscious Creation - designing with intention, awareness, and care for the humans on the other side of the screen.

”I transform fintech experiences by solving three critical gaps: UI/UX that matches global standards, Customer journeys that actually work, and gamification and reward systems that drive adoption.”

Most transformations fail because they optimize for just one thing - business goals, user needs, or technical feasibility. I balance all three simultaneously through The AGNI Method: a structured approach that tackles the critical tensions every fintech faces.
