Reinventing Independence: From Colombo Office Life to Coastal Creative Freedom
Update: 2025-11-23
Description
In this episode, we meet Bimalka, the creative force behind Aerona Summer, whose path moves from airline office work in Colombo to crafting handmade fashion by the beach.
What began with nothing but barbecue sticks and a fierce desire to be independent has grown into a full-time creative life on Sri Lanka’s South Coast.
Her story weaves together courage, market culture, community, early-morning sea dips, and the joy of doing what you love. An authentic reinvention shaped by choice, creativity and freedom.
