About the Meetup

Open design challenge

Accessibility is no longer a nice-to-have in design. It is a core part of creating products that work for everyone. As AI becomes a bigger part of the design process, designers now have powerful new ways to identify accessibility issues, generate inclusive solutions, and build better user experiences faster.

This workshop is a hands-on design challenge that explores the intersection of accessibility and AI. We’ll begin by understanding what accessibility really means in digital product design, why it matters, and how inclusive design improves usability for all users. We’ll then explore practical AI tools and workflows that can help designers create more accessible interfaces, content, and design systems.

The session will conclude with a live design challenge where participants will apply these concepts to redesign a real interface with accessibility in mind. The goal is not just to learn accessibility guidelines, but to practice making thoughtful design decisions and use AI as a creative and practical design partner.

What you’ll learn

What accessibility means in UI/UX design
Common accessibility mistakes designers make
How AI can help audit, improve, and generate accessible designs
Practical workflows for inclusive design
A hands-on design challenge with a tangible design outcome

Whether you’re a student, junior designer, or experienced designer, this session will help you build interfaces that are more inclusive, usable, and future-ready.

Why Join

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

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.

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.

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.
