Creating spaces as a third educator:We design bespoke playrooms and recreational facilities perfect for children and grown-ups. We transform a space into an educational landscape that encourages the physical, mental and social skills of children. Our playrooms provide a sensory-filled and spacious learning environment that creates safe spaces for children to learn. We use authentic natural materials with strong ‘touch and feel’ qualities that offer children diverse, haptic stimuli. We give the certainty that our work meets all the requirements for a safe, ecological, and development-promoting environment for children.With Rakoon Design, each playroom is uniquely architectured to stimulate the curiosity, imagination, and creativity of children that help inspire new ideas, games, and friendship. They are designed to attract a sense of imagination and adventure in both children and grown-ups alike.

Over the past several years, I have successfully launched and managed a variety of entrepreneurial projects, demonstrating my ability to create, market, and execute events and educational services.

In addition, I have created, implemented, and marketed a range of successful commercial events, including charity fundraisers, networking events, and social events that have attracted hundreds of participants.My experience in community building events has enabled me to foster strong relationships within the local community, resulting in increased brand awareness and customer loyalty. For instance, I developed and executed a highly successful series of children's events that attracted over 700 participants and resulted in increased revenue and brand awareness for local businesses and increased community cohesion and well being for both local and expat families .In addition to my event management experience, I founded a tutorial education company that offers private lessons and workshops in a range of subjects. Our focus is on providing high-quality, personalized education that meets the unique needs of each student. We have successfully helped hundreds of students achieve their academic goals, and I am proud of the positive impact we have had on their lives.
