Creating a society that is equitable, inclusive, and just is so importnant. It includes considerations of human rights, social justice, and equality, and seeks to ensure that all members of society have access to resources and opportunities.
Overall, sustainability requires us to consider the long-term impacts of our decisions and actions, and to work towards solutions that are equitable, environmentally responsible, and economically viable. By taking a holistic approach to sustainability, we can create a better future for ourselves and for future generations.
Mental health is a major issue in our society today. We as designers need to stop creating an insecure, over-consuming, stressed-out and skeptical world. Just think about having a hard day, being stressed from current world crises, having a newborn baby that is crying and you haven’t slept in days. Being sick and needing medication. Your eyes are swollen and your nose is just running. And then this website or application triggers you with hundreds of pop-ups, animations, manipulative patterns, shameful cancellation screens and false scarcities. Your heart is racing. You feel it? Great! So don’t use those methods in your products and designs.
Equity: In a world where we’re all connected, it’s important to make sure that your UX is based on gender, ethnicity, educational, cultural and other equality. This means integrating different kinds of gender (also non-binary), acknowledging indigenous, addressing needs, wishes and frustrations of all people. That counts especially for forms, email salutations and gender equal copy writing.
Sustainable UX (User Experience) and UI (User Interface) design refer to the practice of designing digital products and services with a focus on sustainability, in addition to the traditional considerations of usability, functionality, and aesthetics.
Sustainable UX/UI design considers the environmental impact of digital products and services, such as energy consumption, carbon emissions, and resource consumption. It also takes into account the social impact of digital products and services, such as accessibility, privacy, and inclusivity.
