Designers Should Redistribute Power, Not Consolidate It

In his last article, Sidney Debaque, an SDN community member, reflects on the ways designers support the enforcement of power structures towards users by, for instance, increasing or reducing friction at key steps of the journey. He calls to design for people, not only for users. To do so, designers need to understand and design for people in their context, to consider the impact of the design decisions on the society at large and the environment. As designers are facilitators between business requirements, technological capabilities and user needs, they need to advocate for the people they’re designing for. This means empowering people in systems, services and experiences they’re designing.
