Welcome to UX(R) For Good
What if your UX skills could do more than improve products—what if they could help solve real problems in the world?
Join us for the very first gathering of UX For Good, a community of designers, researchers, and systems thinkers coming together to ask:
“How can we use our craft to push forward meaningful change—locally and globally?”
🧭 This first session will focus on:
Defining our collective identity — what values guide us, what we'll call ourselves, and why this matters.
Exploring areas of impact — from hyper-local community needs to global-scale issues like climate, equity, and access.
Mapping next steps — how we can take action, both individually and together.
Discovering what’s already working — and where we can support or create new efforts.
This is a space for purpose-driven UX designers and researchers of all backgrounds to connect, imagine, and build something bigger than themselves. You don’t need to be an expert in activism or social innovation—just curious, open-minded, and ready to co-create.
Bring your ideas, your values, and your questions. Let’s design the world we want to live in—together.
Whether you're a seasoned UX designer or just starting out in the field, this event is perfect for anyone passionate about using their skills for good. Don't miss out on this chance to learn, connect, and make a difference!
Free to Join
Attendance is free.
No IxDF membership required.

What is an IxDF Local Group and why should I join one?
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?
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?
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.
