The Pranava Institute successfully conducted a workshop on deceptive design at DesignUp Conference 2024!
More than 20 enthusiastic participants actively engaged in exploring the complexities of deceptive design and its impact. The workshop utilised activities from our "Design Beyond Deception" manual, equipping participants with the skills to identify and mitigate deceptive practices.
A highlight of the workshop was the collaborative exercise where teams tackled real-world cases of deceptive patterns and developed innovative trusted design alternatives.
Over 80% of attendees reported gaining a deeper understanding of deceptive design and its implications, and many expressed interest in conducting similar workshops in their organisations and universities.
On day 1 of the conference, our Co-Founder, Titiksha Vashist, delivered an insightful lightning talk on deceptive design, global regulations, and the crucial role designers play in building a safer, trustworthy digital future.
We were delighted to observe the enthusiastic reception of our 'Design Beyond Deception' manual among designers, product leaders, individual practitioners, design teams, and educators, who also expressed their intention to integrate the manual's insights into their daily work to tackle deceptive design.
