Shaivi Kant
Futurist & Strategic Designer
"Futurists are the travellers to the future and oracles of what might pass. As cartographers of today, knowing both that there is much to be mapped ahead of us and at this moment, wander in a direction that feels right." - Nicolas Badminton

I am a Futurist, UXer, and “Planet-centric Designer”, a role I have assigned myself amidst the increasing need for designers to inculcate non-human actants in design and be mindful of the impact of their design decisions. My work at the Royal College of Art reflects the intentions of unearthing the intrinsic potential of the human mind impending the crucial race against time to save the planet, one idea, one action at a time.
As I embark on starting my professional practice—one that is envisioned to be pivoted around emerging technologies, mapping different facets of the future, and redefining strategies and research practices backed by futures methodologies—my “for the people and the planet” core will always drive my actions and intentions wherever you see me next.

A Brief Overview
Imagine a world where every fish counts, every habitat thrives, and the ocean’s future is in our hands...
Every year, millions of marine lives are lost due to bycatch, overfishing, and habitat destruction, but what if we could change that with a dynamic, intelligent monitoring system?
MABO (Marine Biodiversity Observation System) envisions a future where oceans are protected through real-time data, predictive insights, and collaborative governance, ensuring sustainable fishing and marine conservation.
From AI-driven monitoring to stakeholder-specific dashboards, MABO transforms oceanography into an interconnected system that benefits local communities, governments, environmentalists, and marine life alike.
