Hi IxDF Houston, let's meet up and network over coffee or tea or beer or whatever! Share UX design insights and resources, discuss UX problems you are facing now, or just chat about anything else. It's going to be an informal, cozy meetup with fellow designers!
A note about myself: I am new to UX and would like to meet like-minded people with or without experience in UX design.
Another note: It looks like Houston's IxDF community isn't extremely active – let's change that!

Hey Areil,
Sorry for the late reply. I majored in graphic design and over five years realized it's not exactly my thing. UX designer seems a much better fit!
Looking forward to this meet up as well. It's great to know there are also graphic designers and web developers in this group. Many of us seem to be on the move. I studied Industrial design but I have been practicing graphic design for some time (primarily print and experiential). Over time, I found myself moving toward the digital, with a bit of an obsession... And I have been on a code-learning journey recently. So I will likely have a few questions for those of you who are learning or have experience with UX and UI design.

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.
