About the Meetup

Hi IxDF San Diego, let's meet up and network over coffee! We've started CappUXcino & Coffee with some wonderful UXers where we share UX insights and resources, discuss UX problems you are facing now, and complete UX research/design-thinking exercises and activities.

With the UX community growing ever so rapidly in San Diego, some gaps have been created. The goal is to minimize, and ultimately, close the gap between very experienced UX professionals and up-and-coming/junior-level UXers. There is room for everyone in our industry. We'd love to have you as part of our growing community. The CappUXcino & Coffee meetup is your opportunity to meet others interested in growing their chops just like you, while learning and growing your skills.

+ Are you new to User Experience and feel intimidated and out-of-place at larger meetups?

+ Do you prefer smaller, more intimate meetups so your voice can be heard?

+ Would you like to be around other new designers like yourself so that you know you're not alone?

+ Are you looking for a mentor to help you grow in the User Experience industry?

+ Do you appreciate a good space with good vibes and good people?

If you have answered yes to any or all of these questions, we would like to see you at this meetup. Come meet some of your other design peers in San Diego!

Why Join

Meet people who love design as much as you do. Together we learn new skills, grow our networks, and discover new job opportunities.

Questions? We've Got Answers

An IxDF Local Group connects you with people in your city who are building and applying design skills in their work. Together, you'll strengthen your craft, expand your network, and put theory into practice.

IxDF Local Groups meet regularly in person at cafés, company offices, or creative spaces to share ideas, give feedback, run workshops, and learn from each other. Many groups also organize IxDF Design Dinners, where the conversation goes deeper over a meal. These aren't just social events. Members find collaborators, clients, job leads, and future teammates through them.

You'll also have access to a private online forum where you can get career advice, honest feedback, and support from people who understand the work.

You don't need to have a "designer" title to join. If you care about how design shapes products, careers, and organizations, you belong here.

Join and you'll discover new skills, explore job opportunities, and build relationships with people who understand the power of great design.

Your IxDF Local Leader organizes meetups based on what members want most. Sessions range from hands-on and structured to relaxed and informal.

Some examples of what you'll find:

Presentations from local designers, followed by Q&A
Lightning talks where members share lessons learned from real projects
Workshops where you work through a real design challenge together
Portfolio reviews where you get honest, practical feedback
Coffee meetups and design dinners with open conversations about where the industry is heading

Any member can propose, organize and post a meetup. You don't have to wait for your Local Leader to take the initiative.

What stays consistent is the people. You'll find designers and professionals who ask good questions, share what they know, and show up for each other between meetups too.

Yes, absolutely!

Design skills make you more effective in any role. Product managers, developers, marketers, researchers, and founders all work better when they understand how to think like a designer.

IxDF Local Groups reflect that. Members come from all kinds of professional backgrounds, not just design. What they share is an interest in how design shapes products, decisions, and careers.

You'll fit right in regardless of your background.
