IxDF Minneapolis Meetup

Add to your calendar:

Hi, IxDF Minneapolis! Let’s meet online and discuss UX! Let's get to know each other! Log-in and dial-in info is pasted below. If possible, please RSVP (express interest) by Saturday morning.

This meetup will be a casual session with no particular agenda. We can decide as a group what to discuss. As the initial organizer, I'm personally motivated to build a social/support network with IxDF students & alumni. If you're seeking something else, let's discuss it. Non-IxDF members are also welcome to join in!

If this date/time doesn't work for you, please let me know what would work better. I can reschedule this meetup if needed. I also hope to schedule future sessions too, and I can be flexible.

About me: 

  • My name is EJ Makela (aka "Johnny").

  • I live in Minneapolis.

  • I've been interested in UX / UI / CX for many years.

  • Only recently did I decide to pursue UX as a career.

  • I'm currently taking the IxDF course, UX: The Beginner's Guide.

  • I have a background in IT, customer service, and education.

    Hi, Jeannette. Thanks for your response. I was thinking about organizing a second session sometime, maybe even prior to Saturday’s session. Are weekends an option for you in the future? Would you prefer a different day of the week or time of the day?

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.

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:

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.
