About

Saumya Sahni is a Service Designer whose practice is deeply rooted in Design Research. With a background in Spatial Design and UX Design, she crafts interventions that seamlessly blend the digital and the analog, gaining insight into how people interact within these realms. This enables her to design solutions that are not only functional but also empathetic and resonant. 


Saumya is particularly interested in exploring the dynamics of cultural change and how design can be a catalyst for societal shifts. Her projects at the Royal College of Art delve into how the shifting patterns of human behavior can be harmonized with the design of services that enable positive change. She believes in the transformative power of design as a force that not only addresses immediate needs but also anticipates and shapes the future.

Final Project

Full Fill started with a simple question: who really benefits from our current food system, and who is left struggling? As we delved into this, we saw a clear need to improve food access for people from working class backgrounds. Along the way, we realized that it’s not just about providing food—it’s about fostering true food well-being. We were inspired by the sense of community we found in communal eating spaces and saw the potential they hold in transforming food access. This led us to rethink and destigmatize community kitchens, from places of emergency aid to welcoming spaces where people can choose to enjoy sustainable, affordable meals together.
