This session explores how design processes translate from theory to real-world practice, followed by a deep dive into the psychology of our digital habits. Using our top-used apps as a starting point, we’ll reflect on whether our usage is truly healthy and uncover the triggers behind our behaviors. Through this lens, we’ll dissect the concept of Dark Patterns—manipulative design choices that nudge users into actions they might not consciously choose. We’ll examine why these patterns exist, how teams rationalize them, and the ethical dilemma they pose. Most importantly, we’ll discuss how designers can take a stand and build more honest, user-respecting experiences.
