about
Sonali Patel is a Canadian designer, 3D artist, and musician whose work bridges speculative design, humanoid robotics, and the evolving relationship between memory, technology, and connection. As a second-year product/industrial design student at Goldsmiths University of London, she approaches design as a means of solving problems and shaping possibilities, focusing on how things can develop in conscious and meaningful ways.
Click to view Her practice merges speculative and experimental design with tools like AI, robotics, and material exploration to address complex challenges and provoke thoughtful dialogue. Sonali’s work is guided by a desire to reimagine how humans interact with technology and with each other, crafting solutions that are both innovative and deeply human. Influenced by literature, conceptual art, her travels, and the places she inhabits, Sonali’s designs embrace the beauty of complexity and the potential within uncharted territory. She is captivated by the act of exploring chaos, letting herself be carried away by the untraditional.
Outside of design, Sonali is an avid scuba diver, skier, crafter, and lover of the ocean. She finds inspiration in wandering new landscapes, getting lost in books, and seeking moments of stillness and connection with the world around her
