Heuishil

Born in Japan, Heuishil spent most of her time as a child playing in imaginary worlds through books.
After working as an architect in Tokyo, she moved to the UK and studied resilient society design at the University of Oxford, where she obtained her MPhil and DPhil in Geography and the Environment. In parallel, she passionately studied child development and mental well-being.
Heuishil now enjoys inventing new playful learning resources for children to boost their emotional resilience and creativity using her wide multidisciplinary expertise and design skill.

Raffaella

Raffaella grew up in Italy within a Montessori environment, and went on to study architecture in Milan, moving to London soon after finishing her degree, in 2005. As an architect, she was named RIBA Inspirational Woman of the Year in 2018 and shortlisted as Best Architect in the European Women in Construction & Engineering Awards in 2019. Her latest project as lead architect was inaugurated by Her Majesty the Queen in May 2022.
Raffaella brings her enthusiasm and skills to help children generate positive change for themselves and the world around them.
