🌍 Designing Within Limits: A New Era for UX Designers

​As UX designers, we're often focused on users' needs, business goals, and seamless journeys. But what if we zoomed out further — beyond the user, beyond the interface — to consider the ecological and social systems that our work exists within?

​In this session, we'll explore how design must evolve in response to the urgent realities of climate collapse, resource scarcity, and social inequality.

​We’ll contemplate the following questions:

• ​What does it mean to design within planetary boundaries?

• ​How can UX play a role in shaping regenerative, equitable systems?

• ​What frameworks help us think holistically about environmental and social impact?

​This isn’t just another talk on "sustainable design" — it's a call to radically reimagine our role as designers in a world with limits. If you're ready to think big, question business-as-usual, and design for thriving within thresholds, this conversation is for you.

​Expect an engaging talk, real-world examples, and a chance to connect with fellow designers who care about creating a better future — not just for users, but for the whole planet.
