Abstract

In recent years, biomimicry has emerged as a transformative approach in product design, offering sustainable and innovative solutions inspired by nature’s processes. This paper explores the application of biomimicry within social media design, particularly focusing on how adaptive and personalized product design can enhance information literacy and user engagement. Social media platforms play a crucial role in shaping public knowledge and interaction, yet they face challenges in fostering meaningful engagement and accurate information dissemination. By incorporating nature-inspired principles, designers can create adaptive, personalized interfaces that respond dynamically to user behaviors and preferences. This paper examines key biomimetic concepts—such as adaptability, self-regulation, and ecosystemic feedback—within social media contexts and analyzes how these principles can improve the user experience by promoting information literacy and active engagement. The findings suggest that integrating biomimicry into social media product design not only encourages sustainable, user-centered solutions but also holds potential for reshaping digital literacy practices, ultimately supporting a healthier, more informed online ecosystem.
