We need to change some of the core paradigms of UX

What is Sustainable UX?

SUX is the approach to design sustainable digital products by moving beyond user-centered design to an environmental and humanity centered design approach.

We focus so intensely on the needs of our users and try to align them with business needs that we completely overlook who or what else is affected by our designs. Every product always has a larger systemic context. There are always additional actors (human and non-human) involved beside our users, direct or indirect.

We must stop designing solely for our users and instead always understand and review our work within the systemic context.

The SUX Network was founded in 2021 by a group of designers with the mission to transform UX to Sustainable UX and to make Sustainability default in the digital design process.
