Hi IxDF Austin,

Wow. 140 IDFers in Austin!

We had a wonderful meet up at Radio Coffee and Beer this past Saturday. It was great to meet everyone and hear about your stories and journeys.

I hope going forward to hear more of your stories and happenings, and how we can help each other grow.

Please pencil in this date for another meetup:

October 12, Saturday, 4pm.

If you have a favorite coffee shop South Austin, let me know! I am always up to trying new places (as well as eating different food too).

It's going to be an informal, cozy meetup with fellow UXers!

Stay tune for location, as we get closer to the date.

    Hey all,

    Thanks to those who came out to IDF meetup. We had a great discussion about everything UX--I learned something new and I hope Yiling, Cameron and Yujin did too.

    As I have learned so far, UX is a diverse field, and we can all benefit from learning from each other. Each one of us is reservoir of information. Who knows, we might need to ask each other questions when we embarking on fieldwork/user research.

    I will set up the next meet up for Nov. 9. Please pencil in this date. If you have suggestion for place to meet, let me know. I'd be interested in checking out a new coffee shop!

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.
