A Bit About My Journey
I was born in the beautiful, Buddhist island nation of Sri Lanka, grew up in the UK where I spent most of my adult life, and have been living in the US since 2015. While I’ve settled here, there are still so many states I’m eager to explore.

I hold a degree in Business Information Technology Management and a MBA, and I currently work as a Product Manager in fintech for a major bank. Outside of work, I’m a hands-on, DIY enthusiast who’s always excited to learn new skills.

What I’m Passionate About
Gaming: I’m an avid gamer who loves titles like Wukong, Call of Duty, and Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Anime & Manga: Huge fan of Naruto, Bleach, Demon Slayer, and Jujutsu Kaisen. Let’s geek out together if you’re into anime too!

Photography: As a professional photographer, I love capturing landscapes, portraits, and nature. Comicon events are my favorite for snapping creative cosplay shots. Check out my work on Instagram: @Rishme_Sheriff.

Taxidermy Artist: I craft whimsical, character-inspired mice and sell them on Etsy at Meowshroomz.

Wildlife & Pets: I’m an animal lover with two cats (Kitto and Shibu) and a bird (Barbie). I’m happiest visiting zoos, forests, and parks, photographing animals, and enjoying the great outdoors.

Fun Fact
I’m always on the hunt for cool new places to explore and photograph. If you have any hidden gems in your area, I’d love to hear about them (and maybe snap a few pictures too).

Let’s make some unforgettable memories together!
