COMMON User ExperiencE

The Ethical Blueprint of User Experience Design

To begin with, discover the transformative mission behind commonUX.org and meet the visionary minds shaping the future of human-centered User Experience.

commonUX.org is an independent knowledge platform and ethical design space, built for pioneering professionals, visionary designers, forward-thinking researchers, developers, strategists, and thoughtful product teams who are passionately active in shaping the future of User Experience. Moreover, it exists to explore, document, and champion a more transparent, intelligent, and, above all, profoundly human-centered future for digital design.

We firmly believe that Ethical UX Design holds the extraordinary power to shape not only innovative products but also the evolving digital culture we live in. In an increasingly automated world, where algorithms subtly influence everything from shopping behavior to political opinions, our unwavering goal, therefore, is to bring back what matters most: the authentic human experience.

After all, the future of UX is not just beautiful — it’s ethical, intelligent, and inclusive. That is why we stand for:

Transparency

We believe users deserve to understand how their data is used, how design decisions are made, and how systems shape their digital experiences.

In fact, transparency is not an optional feature — it is the foundation of trust. Therefore, we stand for clear communication, honest UX patterns, and full accountability throughout the design and development process.

Consent-first Interfaces

Consent should be active, informed, and respected — not hidden behind dark patterns or legal jargon.

We design interfaces where users control their journeys, not where companies quietly nudge, trick, or manipulate. Consent-first UX puts the user’s autonomy and dignity at the center of every interaction, from onboarding to offboarding.

AI that empowers Users

Artificial Intelligence must serve human potential — not prey on human vulnerabilities.

At commonux.org, we champion the development of AI systems that assist, educate, and elevate users instead of exploiting attention, behavior, or data. Ethical AI is not about maximizing screen time or profits — it’s about creating real, positive impact in people’s lives.
