Every worthwhile journey has its ups and downs, but what’s important is the drive to keep moving forward. It’s this exact sentiment that has helped us reach a very important milestone on our journey with Drawing Desk. This month, we celebrate 10 years of your favorite art app, a decade of inspiring creatives of all ages to bring out their inner artist through the Drawing Desk app!  So if you’ve ever wondered how exactly Drawing Desk came to be what it is now, here’s a quick look back on the app’s humble beginnings, and its rise into the spotlight.   Creating the Right Artistic Platform Our adventures with Drawing Desk began in 2013 when the app was released on the 23rd January. Our intention back …

When 4 Axis first came to life back in 2012, it was founded on a single vision – to enable everyone to be creative through digital technology. At its core, this vision stems from our belief that every individual has the potential to be artistic and creative and with it, bring about plenty of positive change. After all, it is our creativity that is our greatest strength!  And having a particular appreciation for the potential that lay in emerging digital technologies, our goal was clear from the start: to build an array of digital art apps that would inspire all generations to express their ideas creatively. And now 10 years into our journey, we stand proud in saying that we’ve come a long way in …

Our Axian journey has certainly given us our fair share of successes and struggles. In particular, the Covid-19 Pandemic of 2020 gave us some of our biggest challenges yet. And we certainly had to make new changes and adjustments while trying to stay on track with our Axian dreams and goals. But as they say, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. And along with the Pandemic and its challenges, came stepping stones towards a brighter future…  Over the past two years, we’ve found our forever home and also welcomed new and talented individuals into the 4 Axis family. And as always, we’ve rallied together to move 4 Axis into newer and exciting arenas!  And in doing so, we’ve successfully completed 10 amazing …

Since the very beginnings of our journey, we’ve always made it our priority to give our 4 Axis family the best place to call home. We’ve certainly been down a long and winding road since then, moving from one place to another, in search of a spot of our own.   2020 eventually brought us to our brand new forever-home at Astoria Towers in the heart of Colombo. And since then, we’ve settled in just well, while even welcoming plenty of new faces along the way!  Two years later, as we’ve continued to expand our team of ever-enthusiastic and creative thinkers, we’ve also expanded the confines of our beloved Axian home!  On the 1st of June 2022, we officially opened our second office space at Astoria …

We’ve all had to make plenty of changes to our daily routines during the past year, having to get accustomed to social distancing, face masks and working from home. Amidst all the chaos of 2020 we at 4 Axis did our best to find the silver linings wherever possible.  Not only did we find a new spacious office to call our home, but we’ve also welcomed new friends and teammates to the 4Axis family! And in true Axian spirit, whether from home or office we’ve worked hard as a team to achieve our goals for the year. And as the Pandemic continued into the tail end of 2020 it wasn’t too much to assume that Christmas was going to be a tad bit different as …

After 7 years into our journey, we at 4 Axis have continued to maintain forward momentum, getting closer to our goals with every step. With this mindset we’ve been working towards making a positive change of our own, as we head into a new decade. We’ve always believed that having the right mentality and motivation is integral to fulfilling our dreams and so far we’ve been able to achieve this with our talented team of diverse individuals and by finding ways to create a healthy, positive working environment. But with plans to widen our reach and extend our 4 Axis family, we decided that it was time to find ourselves a new home. After all, our strongest asset is our team of hard-workers and it …

2018 has been a great year for us so far, with plenty of progress and good memories to add to the books. So after having celebrated our 6th anniversary we decided to make this year even more special by giving someone else a chance at moving forward towards a better future. Our initial plans for conducting a CSR project were put into action when we visited the Bulathsinhala Pradeshiya Sabha, with the hopes of identifying a school in the area that we could help develop. The officer who was assigned to help us there, was extremely supportive and helped us find not one but three rural schools nearby, each in need of precious materials and resources that would give their students a better learning experience. …

  One of the greater lessons one can take in when working towards a goal, is that it’s never a bad thing to learn from others…   And that’s something we believe in strongly at 4 Axis! We’ve been in the running for 6 straight years and have learned much on our journey, but to think that we’ve got it all figured out, would be a mistake. There’s still so much that we as a company have got to figure out and we’re always eager to learn from the very few successful people and organizations in our industry, who we look up to. Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana is one such individual, who recently, much to our delight, agreed to visit our humble office to give us …
