Hi all!

Our next meetup is Saturday, November 16, 2019.

I was trying to find a coffee shop that would be in the middle. Google showed me The Carpenter Hotel. It seems interesting (I don't work for the Carpenter Hotel). maybe a place for a staycation with the holiday approaching?

    I signed up for a few. I went to one on monday ab. inclusion design (they call it neutral design...that is a new term to me.) I visited a design studio, Accomplice. They do quite nice work--an interdisciplary design shop but focus is on interaction design. I signed up for a few more but I am not sure I will be able to make them.

    I would love to attend one of the meetups. Could we please try to have one closer to the Domain area? That would be a little easier for those up north of Austin. I live in Round Rock and don't really want to drive all the way South or downtown.

    Either way, it's far for me (30+ minutes). I live in Lakeway. :) Unfortunately, the city is so large now, it's hard to accommodate everyone.

    I get that there will never be a perfect spot to accommodate everyone, but more options a little further North would be nice.

    Yes, Arboretum would be a great option. Thanks for the kind words about my portfolio. I was working full-time freelance for a few months but will be going back to part-time next month.

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.

Simply put, we learn together and smile together.

You'll expand your career network, discover new skills, explore job opportunities, meet potential clients, or even find your next dedicated team member when you join an xDF Local Group.

Remember: Your network is your net worth.
