Why Sustainable UX Design?
Sustainability UX represents the efforts of the UX community to address climate emergency challenges. As more attention is given to the topic (see Grandfather of Human-Centered Design, Don Norman’s latest definition, Humanity-Centered Design), designers and researchers need refreshed practices to tackle new interaction design challenges.
Sustainable Interaction Design (SID) brings together tools, checklists, and mindsets for prioritizing sustainability in your work. However, a planet-centric design approach that emphasizes radical approaches to addressing renewability and regenerative methods must also put people at the center. In this way, it is better to think of this approach as what Chris Golias, Sr. User Researcher at Google calls “Donut-centered design”. The “donut economics” model advocated by Kate Raworth stresses the need to keep social systems (communities, individuals), the inner ring of the donut, in balance while simultaneously addressing planetary capacity and infrastructure (the outer ring of the donut).
How can we start practicing Donut-Centered Design?
To deal with the complexity of problems facing the planet and communities living in the balance, we need fresh approaches to design. ‘Donut-centered’ techniques like Circular Design or Sustainable Interaction Design combine tools, checklists, and mindsets that help structure the practical adoption of these methods to Business as Usual UX design.
In this Masterclass, we will apply a Sustainable UX Toolkit to multiple scenarios that require radical design thinking. We will see where sustainable interaction design can provide fresh ways to frame and approach design challenges. In this way, participants will come away with a working framework and application of sustainability UX that can be built into existing process going forward.
Topics this Sustainable UX masterclass will cover:
- What is Sustainable Interaction Design?
- How can we leverage realistic and practical strategies and tactics in our designs?
- Stakeholder tips: What to tell your team (i.e. sustainability is not a solo cause of a concerned designer)
- How can we bring UX and Service Design mindsets and approaches to building sustainability into value propositions as a default?
- Scenario activity- applying the Sustainable Interaction Design Toolkit to practical challenges
