Stories, imagination, and creative expression.

Suma Srinivas' creative journey is rooted in storytelling, poetry, and the belief that art and technology are not opposites — they are partners.

A published poet and performer since her college years, she has always used creativity as a way to explore emotion and connect with people. Her mother, a trained semi-classical singer, shaped her early understanding of how art holds feeling.

Suma holds a Bachelor's degree in Business Management and a Master's in Interactive Multimedia from the University of Technology Sydney. She also began her professional journey with a Higher Diploma in Software Engineering — giving her a rare ability to build at the intersection of technology and creative expression.

She is the Co-Founder and Partner of Webonautics, a creative studio she has been building since 2000. Within Suma & Lathesh, she shapes the creative vision, storytelling direction, and the conceptual intelligence behind the work.

Rhythm, motion, and creative technology.

Lathesh Suryakantha brings together an engineer's precision and a musician's instinct in everything the studio creates.

With a foundation in classical tabla and formal training in multimedia, he developed an early understanding of how rhythm, sound, and visual motion can create experiences that bypass the analytical mind and speak directly to feeling.

He holds a degree in Engineering from NITTE University and a Master's in Interactive Multimedia from the University of Technology Sydney. He is the Co-Founder and Partner of Webonautics. Within Suma & Lathesh, he combines technology, sound, and visual production to develop projects where imagery, motion, and storytelling become immersive experiences.

Working Together

A shared creative journey.

Creative and digital experience, since 2000..

With more than twenty-five years of combined creative and digital experience, Suma and Lathesh bring together art, storytelling, music, design, and technology in ways that very few studios can.

Through their collaboration, ideas move naturally across disciplines — visual art, sound, motion, and narrative informing each other and becoming something larger than any one medium can hold.

This intersection of creativity and technology continues to shape the evolving world of Suma & Lathesh.
