    Just want to say a quick hi all. :)

    Currently based in Ely at the moment. Came interested in Ux Design for quite a bit of time. Then I decided to a complete 360 career change.

    Having come from a multitude of different soft skills, gained though life experiences. (original, my background was graphic design.)

    Hi All,

    Just recently joined and wanted to say hi. I currently work in Cambridge as a manufacturing engineer and have a background in product & packaging design.

    I would like to move back into the design/creative industry which has led me to the IDF website and specifically UX design. I am keen to learn more about this industry, what it’s like as a career and meet others working in the field.

    Regards

    James

    Hello everyone, just recently joined this site and thought I would say hi. I did all sorts of design and marketing for two years in Peterborough but I started my first UX Design position 6 months ago in Huntingdon.

    I'm still a rookie eager to learn more about the industry and meet other people in UX.

    Hi Pauline

    Just to confirm I'm still coming tomorrow but my train from Norwich doesn't get in until 6pm so will probably be there about 6.15 by time I've walked from the station. Look forward to meeting you,

    Thanks

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:
