Hello there
I’m Charaka
Designer, storyteller, scuba diver, hiker, and traveller. I craft experiences that blend culture, curiosity, and sustainability, drawing inspiration from the vibrant city of Colombo, Sri Lanka, and my current home in London, UK. With over a decade of experience in educational product design, I specialise in Montessori learning tools that unite form, function, and imagination.
Passionate about environmentally responsible design, I explore innovative materials and processes to craft sustainable, meaningful products. Over the years, I’ve collaborated with global brands including Nienhuis, Heutink, Educo, Toys for Life, GAM Montessori, and AMI International. Rooted in exploration and driven by creativity, my practice spans product design, storytelling, and branding — crafting experiences that educate, inspire, and connect across cultures.
