This week on Legal Design Thinking IRL I spoke with Marie Potel-Saville. We talked about the dark patterns of the internet, how to identify them and how she’s leveraging legal design to create fair patterns for users.
Marie is the founder of Amurabi, an award-winning legal innovation studio, and fairpatterns.com, a platform dedicated to fighting against dark patterns and training all stakeholders to avoid them. She is an international keynote speaker in human-centric law and legal innovation by design: IAPP Global Privacy Summit, W@Privacy, Computer Privacy and Data Protection, Legal Design Summit, and LegalGeek.
Before founding Amurabi, she worked in private practice for 10 years at Freshfields and Allen & Overy in Europe, then moved in-house to become GC EMEA of a US-listed group. She holds a Master’s Degree in Innovation by Design at ENSCI. She is also a member of the Advisory Board of the Serpentine Galleries’ Legal Lab and is involved in pro bono access-to-access initiatives. Marie teaches innovation by design at Singapore Management University, Sciences Po and Assas.
