SUX like »It SUCKS what happens right now.«? Yes!

What is SUX?

SUX was founded 2021 by a group of designers led by Thorsten Jonas with the idea to develop a playbook,

to drive sustainability in UX and through UX, based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN and non-profit - for the community and with the community. Meanwhile SUX grew from a project to an ongoing initiative and global community of (UX-)designers from all over the world. 

We realized, that working on Sustainability and Sustainable UX cannot be just one project. Instead it is an ongoing way that maybe never ends. But we also see, that it is worth going it. Because we have the power and can be an impact- in our daily work and through it.

"Making Sustainability Default in all Design Processes" is our mission.

SUX Playbook

Let's get active!

01/11/2022

When we started SUX, the idea was to build a Sustainable UX Playbook with tools and methods we develop all together with the design community. A first set of SUX Playbook tools is to be provided soon. Part of our work is also a resource database, where we collect all kinds of resources, tools, methods - sorted by design phases. This is available on our notion space.

SUX Podcast

EP 13: "Changing design towards a better world" with Don Norman

07/03/2024        Moderator: Thorsten Jonas

You most probably know our guest already. This time we had the honor to be joined by Don Norman, author of "Design of everyday things" or "Design for a better world" , Co-Founder of the Nielsen Norman Group, University Professor and so much more for many of us.
We spoke about morning walks, elaborated on Humanity Centered Design and why Dons latest book was a different one, when he started writing it. We discussed about the importance of curiosity and made the connection between design, business and decision making and how it relates to sustainability.
