Hi IxDF Orlando Community,

Wireframes, mockups, redlines... are they dead?

Join us this month for a high-energy, forward-looking discussion on "Vibe Coding"—the emerging AI-driven practice of generating functional UI/UX through natural language prompts. This shift is set to disrupt the entire product development lifecycle, and we need to talk about what it means for our jobs.

We will debate the big questions:

  • The Great Replacement: Which traditional design artifacts are obsolete when AI can go from "vibe" to working code in minutes?

  • The New Skill: If AI handles the visual details, does the designer's new superpower become User Research and Prompt Engineering?

  • Career Impact: Does "Vibe Coding" lower the barrier to entry for non-designers, or does it make the expert's strategic judgment even more valuable?

Come prepared with your hot takes and your favorite (or most frustrating) AI tool experiences!

🗓️ When: Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025 at 6:00 PM EST

📍 Where: Tech Hub Orlando

☕ What to Bring: Your curiosity, and a willingness to challenge the status quo!

We look forward to seeing you there for a truly future-focused evening.

Best,

Kenyon Congdon

Your IxDF Orlando Group Leader

    As we all return to work I hope your Thanksgiving was a welcome retreat from the daily grind of UX-ing and UI-ing. Our next meetup is just two days away!

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.
