In an age driven by digital innovation, every click, scroll, and image carries an environmental cost. As designers, we have the power — and responsibility — to minimise that impact.
I recently began my journey into Net Zero certification, exploring how UX and digital design can actively contribute to sustainability. My mission: create designs that are not just visually clean, but also lightweight, energy-efficient, and meaningful.
Minimalist interfaces reduce data transfer and energy use.
Dark modes save power on OLED screens.
Transparent communication builds trust around eco-efforts.
Green hosting supports renewable energy infrastructure.
The Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Iceland) are leading examples of merging technology, AI, and sustainability — balancing innovation with empathy for the planet.
Design can educate, influence, and empower users to make eco-conscious decisions. By embedding sustainability into every click, we turn digital products into catalysts for change.
