Coffee & Crit: Bring One Thing You're Stuck On

Date and time
Location
Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada

About the Meetup

☕ Join us on Thursday, August 20 for the second IxDF Regina meetup, and bring one thing you're stuck on.
📍 CozyHaus Desserts & Coffee, 2245 Albert St, Regina
🗓 6:00 to 8:00 pm

No talks, no slides, no one presenting at you. Everyone brings one real problem from their own work or study, and the group spends about ten focused minutes on each one. A screen you're not happy with. A survey nobody finishes. A landing page that isn't converting. A portfolio case study you can't get the story straight on. A research question you're struggling to frame.

You don't have to be a designer, just passionate about great design and how it improves your work. Product managers, developers, marketers, researchers, and founders all make things people use, so you'll have something worth bringing and something useful to say about someone else's.

✍️ What to bring
One thing, open on a laptop or your phone, and one specific question about it. "Does this error state make sense?" works. "What do you think?" doesn't. If you've got nothing right now, come anyway. Half the value of the night is being useful to someone else's problem, and you'll leave with a sense of how other people work.

💬 How it runs
Short intros, then time-boxed rounds. A minute of context, questions from the room, then feedback. Everyone leaves with something specific to act on.

🤝 Attendance is free, and no IxDF membership is required. It's a café, so grab a coffee while you're there.

Questions? We've Got Answers

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

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.

What goes on in an IxDF Local Group?

Your IxDF Local Leader organizes meetups based on what members want most. As an IxDF member, you can also plan and create your own meetups. 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.

I'm not even a designer. Should I still join an IxDF Local Group?

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.

Get a Place To Belong.
Meet the Right People

In a world that's getting more artificial and competitive, IxDF brings the heart back, so you never have to face the job market alone.

Learn together, get mentored, find your next job, and build friendships that grow your career.
