I'm excited to invite you to our third UX For Good session on Wednesday, August 13th, 7:30 Eastern
What is UX For Good?
We're a group of designers, researchers, and people who care about using design to reduce unnecessary suffering, improve what we can, and bring clarity to chaos.
Last time, we talked about how to move forward:
✨ Exploring organizations that are doing good across the globe (Thank you Don!)
✨ Having meaningful conversations with organizations
✨ Uncovering some supportive projects we can use to carry our efforts forward!
Why join?
This is a space to:
Work on real projects that help people
Experiment and refine how we collaborate as designers
Meet new people and expand your thinking
Practice (or learn) agile/UXR in a meaningful way
Contribute to elevating the role of UX in the world
Some additional things about who we are and what we discussed in the past:
We also defined some shared values:
✨ Honesty and Transparency
✨ Ethical, Conscientious, and Adaptable
✨ Collaborative and Community-Engaged
✨ Grounded in First Principles
How do we want to work?
✔ Tackling real problems
✔ Elevating others and ourselves
✔ Building ethical foundations in design
✔ Solving with empathy
What will we do this session?
We'll keep shaping our mission, explore potential first projects or partners, and talk about how we can start putting our values into action.

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.
