Charith has over 10 years experience in international development. Her high level of empathy has made her an excellent storyteller and expressive artist. Though she has dabbled in many different artforms and creative ventures, her deep love for culture and connectedness has led her to create mixed media paintings that address identity and promote cultural inclusivity. As a professional photographer she has travelled to more than 20 different countries, captured the stories of impoverished families and communities, and developed campaigns that have secured them aid. Charith brings this collective experience, knowledge, and passion to her current role as Creative Director of Mission ONE located on Roosevelt Row in downtown Phoenix, AZ.
