Satya Schiavina
About
I am an industrial designer based in London with an interest in the intersection of innovation, technology and design. Prior to enrolling in the Master's of Design Products at the RCA I was involved with a pioneering HealthTech start-up based in France. I played a vital role as a lead designer in the development of a novel solar-powered device for eradicating mosquito-borne diseases which was endorsed by Bill Gates.
I also co-founded a company and have designed, patented and licensed several products to multinational companies. This exposure has taught me the importance of adopting a holistic approach to my product development process, working closely with manufacturing units to develop functional, innovative and viable consumer products.
Statement
I believe that design can be used as a tool to bring positive change in the world and my practice aims to create these opportunities. I am passionate in the collaborative model of innovation and enjoy tackling real-world problems even though they might be challenging. I strive to be in an environment that offers continuous learning and growth, allowing me to expand my abilities as a designer and as an individual.
Project Sonus - A Diagnostic Tool for 3D Printers
Project Overview
3D printing has revolutionized the way we make things, but hobbyist printers often require maintenance and troubleshooting to produce quality prints, making the process frustrating and demanding. Project Sonus is an open-source platform that uses machine learning to diagnose and troubleshoot issues by analysing the audio-visual data of 3d printers. This low-cost and non-invasive technology can be easily integrated to existing printers, providing a reliable tool for hobbyists. With this platform, my intention is to foster a community of technology enthusiasts and educators, where expertise and resources are shared, and innovative ideas are developed to make 3d printing more accessible to everyone.
