Hi IxDF Cleveland (Ohio), let’s meet up and network over coffee! Share UX design insights and resources, discuss UX problems you are facing now, or just chat about anything else. It’s going to be an informal, cozy meetup with fellow designers!
Get ready for another exciting meetup in a place that perfectly blends nature, creativity, and community. This time, we’re heading to the charming Peninsula Coffee House and Market in the heart of historic Peninsula, Ohio. 🌿
Picture yourself in a cozy, rustic setting where the coffee is as rich as our discussions, and the fresh, locally sourced bites fuel our creativity. The Peninsula Coffee House and Market isn’t just a café—it’s a gathering spot where the warmth of the village meets the inspiration of local artistry. Whether you’re deep into design, exploring the tech world, or just looking for some good company, this spot offers a welcoming environment for everyone.
Enjoy a morning filled with casual networking, engaging conversations, and the finest organic treats. The walls around us, adorned with local artwork, will serve as the perfect backdrop to spark ideas and share insights. And if you’re up for it, the day doesn’t have to end with the meetup — Peninsula’s galleries, unique shops, and the scenic trails of Cuyahoga Valley National Park are all waiting to be explored.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 7, 2024, and join us for a meetup that promises not just great company, but also an experience steeped in inspiration and the beauty of nature. See you at the Peninsula Coffee House and Market, where every conversation is a step toward creating something extraordinary. ✨

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