At last year’s DesignUp Conference, our co-founder, Titiksha Vashist, delivered an insightful lightning talk on deceptive design, global regulations, and the vital role designers play in shaping a safer, more trustworthy digital future.



Drawing on two years of research from our Design Beyond Deception project, Titiksha explored:

  • What is deceptive design?

  • The consumer harms, structural detriments, and erosion of trust.

  • How are global regulations evolving to tackle deceptive design?

  • Actionable design tools for building trust, including the TAO Framework (Transparency, Agency, Ownership)

  • The disproportionate impact of deceptive design patterns on users in India and the Global South

  • AI and deception - “Deception in = Deception out”


Deceptive design not only harms individuals but also stifles competition and erodes trust. If you are designing or building for the digital world, this is a must- watch. Together, let’s build better, safer, and trustworthy digital futures.
