IxDF Melbourne - The Journey

Add to your calendar:

Hi IxDF Melbourne,

As designers, we need to establish a clear brand of who we are and be able to effectively communicate this to others.

This session is a great opportunity if you are new to UX, currently in transition or would like an opportunity to connect with others and reflect on your journey and what inspired you to become a UX designer.

Please join me on Friday 12th March at 1pm for an hour event online.

Here's the flow of the event :-

1-1.05pm Welcome

1.05-1.35pm Introductions

1.35-1.50pm Small group activity - sharing your journey

1.50-2.00pm Wrap up

I look forward to connecting with you and be inspired by your journey.

    Hi everyone, I'm not a designer but a curriculum developer who explores UX as a 'digital dramaturge'. This means that I pay attention to all the research poured out by the performance historians on cognition and sociologists like Erving Goffman. I know... it's a bit weird but nonetheless meaningful to me as I attempt to design learning experiences that cater for the brightest kids. For instance, one of my assignments is creating products for a fiction writer who has devised a series of books entitled the 'Young philosophers series'. So I look forward to just listening to your work on Friday and thinking about the implications of designing and arranging experiences online for productive ends. It's a delicious problem and I promise to stay respectfully quiet.

Your work sounds fascinating and exciting! I am beginning to appreciate how the UX platform has the potential to draw diverse group of people together to further enhance our ability to create thoughtful experiences in the digital space. Look forward to meeting you tomorrow!

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.
