February Meet and Greet

Add to your calendar:

Hey! I am an absolute beginner concerning UX and UI. I am interested in meeting with others in the field, a mix of those who are learning like me as well as those who are now able to put their skills to practice so that we can keep up a lively conversation.

Location has now been closed: Taco Deli. Lots of seating, outside tables, inexpensive but good food, variety of drinks available. I’ve never been but it looks like a chill spot. Looking forward to seeing y’all there.

Questions? We've Got Answers

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.

What goes on in an IxDF Local Group?

Your IxDF Local Group is led by an IxDF Local Leader and serves as a vibrant hub where you can network, learn and grow.

Here's what you can expect:

  • A community of professionals from all walks of life, who share a passion for great design and how it can benefit their career, their company, and society in general.

  • We help each other find new career opportunities and jobs.

  • We also host more formal workshops to share knowledge and learn from each other, e.g., case studies, success stories and practical experiences.

  • We have ongoing conversations about current design topics and local opportunities, which can help you stay ahead of industry developments and identify career opportunities.

  • And lastly, peer-led sessions focused on specific design challenges that will help you build expertise and sharpen your problem-solving skills.

In other words, we learn together and smile together. We lift each other up.

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

Yes, absolutely!

IxDF Local Groups are for everyone, regardless of your professional background.

Design skills make you valuable. In any job and any industry. That's why our IxDF Local Groups are not just for professional designers. They're communities of professionals from all walks of life, who share a passion for great design and how it can benefit their career, their company, and society in general.

No matter what your job currently is, you'll find a supportive community to connect and grow with.

Each meetup is a chance to grow, learn, and connect with passionate professionals like yourself. Even small gatherings create big opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Learn Together.
Smile Together

In a world that's getting more artificial, lonely, and competitive, IxDF brings the heart back.

We're a community with heart and soul, so you never have to face the job market alone. At IxDF, we lift each other up, learn together, and spark friendships that grow your career.
