Synopsis
The new paradigm in ownership-driven internet brings a lot of challenges to the fundamental way in which we interact with this new paradigm - and this interaction is not defined by dark mode, defi projects named after desserts, portal-shaped glyphs, or wacky, grainy, blurple gradients. Many web3 projects are leveraging designers from day zero, but somewhere amid all this jazz, we are losing focus on what designing in this new paradigm should be about.
Design in web3 defines not just a bunch of cool visuals, and this talk seeks to dive deep into what are the fundamental challenges in establishing trust, and transparency, and maturing web3 design beyond its stock phrases of gm, lfg, and exchanging the l and d. When we talk about designing in this new paradigm, we talk about transitioning mental models, building better tools, forging new patterns, and remembering that we have humans fiddling behind the screen.
This new paradigm gives us a whole new perspective of what it might have been like for the designers and engineers building tools, platforms, and fun projects during the genesis of the internet. The philosophy of designing for the new paradigm often gets lost amid the shrill cacophony of falling in with the regular trends.
Web2 is fundamentally driven by an adage from the wizard of Oz - Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain (PNATTMBTC) that became a part of internet lingo. With this new paradigm, we have a chance to right a few of our missteps and build better tools and platforms for the next generation of builders.
About me
I usually describe myself as a photographer, violinist, quizzer, and bibliophile with a strong urge to travel. I also love to code and work on a bunch of indie hobby projects that I feel are fun, which is why I don't do it for a living. Besides, I'm a Product Designer at DeepSource and a Member of Superteam DAO. I have been building small hacky projects in web3, mostly for fun, and working with designing and building blockchain projects for close to two years now. I have been the designer-in-chief for golom.io.
You can find more about me here and a smattering of my previous talks here.
I promise less jargon and more memes. Here's my twitter
