About the Meetup
Hey everyone,
Often, I get questions on user experience topics—what differences in designer titles mean; what designers do in different orgs; what are important UX trends; how to conduct user research etc.
I'm hosting an 'Ask me Anything!' where you can submit questions in advance and ask them on the fly in an 'anything goes' Q&A style webinar.

Some info about me:
I've spent my entire career in human-computer interaction work—creating human-centered experiences for over 8 years. The majority of my time has been spent in interaction design, working at various agencies creating websites and mobile applications for enterprise clients. For the past 2+ years, I've been in-house at Verizon, helping shape their user research practice and leading insights work for our mobile phone plans, 5G technology, our mobile app and our Loyalty program. Most recently, I've built an in-house rapid research program to support the rest of our team with quick usability evaluations.
I'm comfortable with:
- user research
- design thinking
- information architecture
- interaction design
- ux strategy
- stakeholder & project management
I'm rusty with:
- visual/UI design
- graphic design
- content strategy
- programming
- 'ins-&-outs' of design tools
- AI/machine learning
ASK YOUR QUESTIONS:
Using this slido link, you can submit questions in advance. During the live Q&A session, I'll answer the most popular ones and you'll also be able to ask questions live yourself.

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.
