Tuesday, 22 October, 2024

10 am – 12 pm MDT

ABOUT THIS CLASS

Time to get technical with your insights from user research and customer journey mapping. Don’t worry, though; there’s no coding here. All you need is a pen, paper, and a free Figma account.

This free, 2-hour session gives you hands-on practice with the first phases of prototyping: sketching and wireframing. From brainstorming and ideating, to sketching your ideas effectively, then learning the basics of navigating Figma to turn your sketches into digital wireframes, by the end of the session you’ll be confidently communicating design ideas.

Take it up a notch in our next session where you’ll get hands-on practice with MVPs & Clickable Prototypes in Figma so you can really start testing and iterating on your design. We’ll see you there.

TAKEAWAYS

  • Learn how to create quick, effective sketches that communicate your design choices to others.

  • Understand the difference between low-fidelity, mid-fidelity, and high-fidelity prototypes.

  • Insight into what Figma is, why it’s important, and how to use it.

  • Hands-on practice building wireframes based on sketches.

PREPARATION

  • This is a beginner friendly series, so no prior knowledge is necessary.

  • Make sure you’re set up with a free Figma account if you plan to follow-along live. Keep in mind, this part is optional.

  • A recording of this session will be sent at the end of the full Skill Seeker series.

  • This session will be held in a Zoom webinar, so your mic and camera will be off. We’ll interact through the Chat, Q&A, and reactions.

This is a Co-hosted event. From time to time free virtual UX skillset workshops and UX tool workshops will be shared as events based your interest feedback.

This is a great opportunity to practice your learned IxDF skillsets in UX.

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

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. 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.
