About the Buddy

Damien Lutz, author of The Non-human Persona Guide, The Life-centred Design Guide, and Future Scouting

Hi, I’m Damien Lutz, a Senior UX/UI designer in Australia, and Founder of Life-centred Design Lab.

I created the Buddy so designers like you can start learning Sustainable UX as you design and review.

“Our everyday design decisions can collectively shift digital design to do less planetary harm while still supporting business goals.”

I am the voice of the trees who were taken to make the product I speak from.

We, the trees, gave shade, clean air, homes for countless creatures, and the gift of oxygen for you to breathe. We cooled the earth, held the soil, and stored the carbon that would have otherwise harmed you.

Now, as a user of this product, you are part of this legacy, and a custodian of the things we once were. 

I ask you to honor the role we played for your planet. Where we are taken, help new trees rise, and protect those who still stand tall. Nurture them as they nurture you, for your future is rooted in our regeneration.
