Hi! I’m Yuliya, a UX/UI Designer based in Gdańsk. I work mainly with B2B and enterprise products, and lately I’ve been spending a lot of my free time learning, rebuilding old case studies, and trying to finally get through the things that are very easy to keep postponing 😅
So I thought it might be much nicer to do some of that together.
This meetup is basically a few focused hours for designers who want to work on their portfolio, study, finish a course, develop a case study, or finally get to that design-related task that has been sitting on the list for too long.
There’s no presentation and no formal agenda. Bring your laptop and whatever you want to work on. We’ll mostly focus on our own things, but there will also be space to ask someone nearby for feedback, discuss a problem, share a useful resource, or simply have another designer around when your brain gets stuck.
You can come with a very specific goal or just with something you’ve been meaning to start. UX/UI designers, product designers, researchers, and anyone learning or working in design are welcome.
📅 Date: Sep, 17 (Thursday) ⏰ Time: 19:00 📍 Location:Lang.fuhr (Aldony 6, 80-438 Gdansk, Pomeranian Voivodeship) 💰 Cost: Free — just buy whatever you’d like from the café 💻 Bring: Your laptop + something you’d like to make progress on
Click “Attend this Meetup” if you’d like to join. I’d love to turn this into a small regular habit rather than another thing we keep saying we’ll do “sometime” 🙂
Anyone is welcome to sign up for this meetup. Just click the “Attend This Meetup” button to see all the details and get important updates by email. Feel free to share this meetup page with others to sign up and use this thread to ask questions or connect with everyone joining. See you there!
Meet people who love design as much as you do. Together we learn new skills, grow our networks, and discover new job opportunities.
Join us to make lifelong friendships over coffee and a shared love of design! ❤️
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.
