Dilum Wickramasinghe

Director of Digital Media, Hevick Studios | Founder, HIDA

With over two decades of hands-on experience in the digital media industry, Dilum Wickramasinghe is a multi-disciplinary creator, strategist, and educator. As the Director of Digital Media at Hevick Studios, he has spent his career mastering the intersection of art and technology, transforming creative ideas into high-impact digital realities.

Through the Hevick Institute of Digital Arts (HIDA), Dilum brings the rigorous standards of a working agency directly into the virtual classroom, offering students a rare blend of technical mastery and strategic insight.

A Multi-Disciplinary Master

Dilum’s expertise spans the entire spectrum of digital creation. He doesn’t just teach the software; he teaches the industry. His core disciplines include:

  • Advanced Video Post-Production: Expert-level workflows in industry standards like Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Adobe After Effects.
  • Digital Marketing & Search Strategy: An established voice in modern search algorithms and an author for RankProcess.com, specializing in Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and Social SEO.
  • Design & Web Development: Comprehensive knowledge in graphic design (Adobe Illustrator) and building functional, modern web experiences.

The Art of Storytelling

Beyond the screen and the code, Dilum is fundamentally a storyteller. He is a published author and poet, having released the poetry collection Achchu Akuru Ankura, as well as a novel. This deep background in creative literature informs his approach to content creation—teaching students not just how to edit a video or design a graphic, but how to craft a compelling narrative that resonates with an audience.

Professional Integrity & Philosophy

Dilum operates on a core professional philosophy: Quantity < Quality. Whether he is optimizing a marketing campaign or guiding a student through a complex DaVinci Resolve node tree, the focus is always on producing premium, meaningful work over mass output.

He instills this sense of professional integrity in his students. As a staunch advocate for industry ethics, Dilum has maintained a strict practice of using only genuine software for over 18 years—a standard of excellence he encourages every emerging professional to adopt.

Beyond the Screen

When he isn’t mentoring global students, developing platforms like RankProcess, or directing projects at Hevick Studios, Dilum is continuously exploring new avenues of digital and sensory lifestyle creation. And if you are taking a live one-on-one session with him, you might just catch a glimpse of his cat, who frequently keeps watch from the working table as he edits.
