About Commonux.org

Redefining Ethical UX Design in the Age of AI in 2025

commonUX.org is an independent knowledge platform and ethical design space built for UX professionals, designers, researchers, developers, strategists, and thoughtful product teams. It exists to explore, document, and champion a better future for digital design — one that is transparentintelligent, and above all, human-centered.

Our Philosophy: Ethical User Experience Design That Prioritize People

We are driven by a simple but vital idea: technology should serve people, not manipulate them.

That’s why every part of commonUX — from our bots to our blog, from our design patterns to our experiments — is based on ethical, evidence-based UX principles.

We advocate for:

  • Human-centered Design – free from dark patterns, coercion, and misinformation
  • Data-Driven UX – grounded in user research and behavioral evidence
  • Inclusive UX – accessible by design, respectful of cognitive and physical diversity
  • AI-powered Design – augmenting creativity and usability through responsible automation

We combine design theory, psychology, accessibility, and artificial intelligence to give UX teams real, usable knowledge and tools — without hype, jargon, or hidden agendas.

Our Mission – Redefining Ethical UX Design

  • Promote ethical UX design that respects users’ autonomy
  • Expose and challenge harmful patterns (see our Forbidden UX Chamber)
  • Educate on AI-enhanced UX without compromising human trust
  • Advocate for inclusive, accessible interfaces for all

Why AI in UX?

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping design and research workflows. But we believe it must be done with care. AI should enhance user empathydecision-making, and experience quality — not exploit attention or personal data.

At commonUX, we explore:

  • The boundaries between automation and intuition
  • Where and how AI can support inclusive, adaptive interfaces
  • How AI-powered research assistants like ClausBot can make ethical UX work scalable
  • What algorithmic bias means for designers and how to address it

We don’t believe in replacing designers with machines — we believe in augmenting ethical decision-making through intelligent, human-aware systems.

Who we are?

We’re a collective of designers, researchers, strategists, and coders passionate about shaping a more transparent digital world. At commonUX, every article, tool, and interaction is grounded in UX best practices, psychological insight, and ethical design systems.

About the Author

I’m an architect, a designer, thinker, and builder of meaningful digital experiences. Rooted in curiosity and driven by clarity, I help brands and products speak with purpose — through UX strategy, accessible design systems, and intentional storytelling.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with startups, agencies, and global companies to translate complexity into simplicity, and friction into flow. Whether I’m wireframing a feature, refining typography, or running usability tests, my goal remains the same: create digital environments that respect users’ time and attention.

When I’m not immersed in design systems or writing microcopy, you’ll find me exploring visual subcultures, capturing ideas in notebooks, or riding mountain curves on two wheels.

Final Words

commonUX.org is a UX manifesto, a research lab, and a toolkit. It’s built on trust, shaped by research, and driven by the desire to help digital teams design with integrity.

We invite you to explore, contribute, and challenge what UX can and should be in the AI era.
Because the future of design isn’t just faster — it must also be fairer, smarter, and more human.
