UX designers and product owners face many challenges when it comes to designing great User Experience in a product. Where do you start? What is the right way to do UX? I don’t have much time to do UX I’m in a hurry to release the product.
To complicate things more, popular processes that we see today are very generic and you need to do a lot of mapping and bridging to allow for UX in the process.
What we have done is, we categorized all projects into three main categories
1. Start a product from scratch
2. Revamp or improve UX in an existing product.
3. Adding a new module to an existing product.
We extracted the good parts which has worked for us in popular processes like, Lean UX, Design thinking, The Sprint and traditional user centered design processes and mapped them to the different project types. And with our 18 years of experience in the business, we came up with the Human Experience model of design.
The key fact is; the maximum time it takes to cover a full cycle of this process takes only 4 of 6 hour workshops. And if your product scope is relatively small you could even do it in one day.
During this workshop Team HEX will explain to you how to get out of traps that many people fall into when they design UX and to guild you through every step of the process using a sample project. You will be taught the theory first and then asked to experience it hands-on.
Key points that you will learn are,
1. How to find the right UX process to your project?
2. Connectivity between UX activities and how to use them in practice.
3. Design key User Journeys
4. How to innovate fast
5. Quick Prototyping and User Testing
6. When to start developing and what to develop first
Yes… you will design a product to solve a problem yourself using the mentioned UX process in this one of a kind full day UX workshop.

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