What weâre about
UX for Change is a community of UX practitioners committed to promoting human welfare and social reform. Its members engage in a value exchange model, offering their time to purpose-driven sectors while gaining education on key topics that foster positive change. Through this process, they challenge conventional thinking and work to restore the well-being of ecosystems and themselves through responsible design practices. The mission of UX for Change is to drive positive change by connecting the purpose-driven sector with the UX community, while championing responsible and impactful design practices.

See all- đ Designing Within Limits: A New Era for UX DesignersLink visible for attendeesÂŁ4.00
As UX designers, we're often focused on users' needs, business goals, and seamless journeys. But what if we zoomed out further â beyond the user, beyond the interface â 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.
Weâll 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 isnât just another talk on "sustainable design" â 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 â not just for users, but for the whole planet.
đĄ If this conversation resonates with you, consider joining the Responsible Design for Change Fellowship â a unique opportunity to deepen your practice and shape the future of design from the inside out.

This isnât just another training program, itâs the result of over a decade of global experience connecting the UX community with the purpose-driven sector. What sets this Fellowship apart isnât just what youâll learn or unlearn, but the meaningful social impact you can create in just three months.The Responsible Design for Change Fellowship brings together four essential elements: a meaningful cause, personalised training in responsible design, a global network connecting like-minded peers, and you. Because itâs not just about what you learn, itâs about how, why, and with whom.
By the end, you wonât just earn a certificate â youâll leave with a renewed sense of purpose, lasting connections, and real experience designing in ways that bring hope, dignity, and wellbeing to people while caring for the planet.
