This talk challenges 'growth-default' along with other 'defaults' that inform product and design: masculine default, northern hemisphere default, english defaults etc. It is a call to action to challenge the utility of defaults that inform our work. In this talk, Ruby will draw examples from across the globe and show products moving beyond our current paradigms as well as those stuck in default thinking, while arming you with the tools you need to think differently about product design. It will cover things big and small that we can all do to create better products that align with more inclusive values.

Design in the Anthropocene. An Ethical Framework for Planetary-Centric Design
 
In a world where technology shapes our future outcomes, ethical design is not just a choice; it’s an imperative. This workshop offers a practical tool, an ethical framework for designers, rooted in principles from permaculture. It is a compass to navigate the complex interplay of creativity, innovation, economic viability, and social and environmental responsibility.
 
We are shifting the focus from user-centric to a broader, holistic, planet-centered approach. In this workshop, participants will learn to apply an ethical framework to evaluate designs and understand their impact on our society, environment, and economy.
 
This tool equips you to forecast the potential effects of design choices and to ensure decisions are made with a clear picture for a healthier society, planet, and economy.
 
Gabriela Lorenz is a UX Designer Director and MBA in Sustainable Business. Over a 15-year career, she has honed her skills in various sectors, leading international and remote teams to enhance digital product design.

She writes for diverse media publications advocating for an ethical and sustainable shift in design practices. As a mentor, she guides designers toward creating innovative and socially responsible products.
 
Gabriela’s professional ethos is grounded in promoting a humanity-centric approach to design, aiming to create technology that aligns with ethical standards and supports holistic well-being.

Through a mindset rooted in a classical philosophy and regenerative living systems framework, Betina approaches each developmental process through powerful questions that help us think and act differently: What can we unleash? What interactions will make this work? How do we welcome resistance and influence an organization’s culture? And eventually, how can we transform energy to design sustainable changes?
