Going out to the mountains taught Thorsten an important lesson: what we create should never harm what sustains us.

As founder of the SUX Network and Academy, and sustainable UX advocate, he helps designers and product teams build digital experiences that don't cost the Earth. From co-leading W3C's Sustainable Web Design Guidelines to hosting the SUX Podcast, Thorsten proves that responsible design isn't just possible—it's mandatory.

Whether climbing peaks or pushing pixels, Thorsten knows our first responsibility is creating digital products that protect the planet we call home.
