IxDF Galashiels

Galashiels - and the Scottish Borders - has a long-standing tradition of design, craftsmanship, and innovation, from its rich textile history to the School of Textiles and Design, which continues to shape future designers. Now, with the rise of UX, digital design, and service design, it’s the perfect time to build a strong local community where we can share, learn, and grow together.

Upcoming Meetup

Reset in the Age of Overwhelm

We are living in an age of constant updates.

New AI tools.
New design trends.
New productivity systems.
New noise.

For designers, innovators, and students alike, the pressure to keep up can quietly turn into burnout.

This session is a reset.

🧠 Theme

Information fatigue. Tool fatigue. AI noise

💬 We’ll explore:

  • How do designers stay clear in a noisy world?

  • Are we designing intentionally — or just reacting?

  • How do we reduce cognitive overload for ourselves and for the people we design for?

  • What does a healthy relationship with AI look like?

🔥 Emotional Focus

Burnout. Overstimulation. Pressure to constantly adapt.

This is not a lecture.
It’s a guided conversation.

A space to pause. Reflect. Reset.

👥 Who Should Join?

  • Designers

  • Students

  • Innovators

  • Entrepreneurs

  • Anyone navigating the AI + information age

No matter your discipline or career stage, you’re welcome.

What is an IxDF Local Group and why should I join one?

An IxDF Local Group is a meeting point for people with a passion for design in your city.

You don't need to be a designer, just passionate about great design and how it can improve your work and career.

Meetups are the heartbeat of IxDF Local Groups, whether we meet at a café, a creative space or a local company. There's nothing quite like the magic of meeting face-to-face to share ideas and inspiration.

We also host regular IxDF Design Dinners, where we enjoy great food and help each other learn and grow. Even a simple coffee meetup in a café can ignite collaborations and friendships that last a lifetime.

You'll also have a private and exclusive online forum where you can openly get help and career advice.
