About the Meetup

Attention all design aficionados! ☕️

Ready to trade your afternoon latte for a virtual cup of inspiration? Mark your calendars for the Coffee + Design Meet Up, brewing on Saturday, January 13th, from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM.

This online gathering is an invitation to mingle with fellow design enthusiasts globally, sip on some creative fuel, and dive into fluid design conversations. Think of it as a virtual co-working space where ideas flow freely, fueled by the magic of shared passion and (of course) caffeine.

Here's a sneak peek at the menu:

Icebreaker introductions: Let's break the ice and get to know each other's design journeys. Think of it as networking with a shot of espresso – quick, energizing, and bound to leave a lasting impression.
Design dilemmas galore: Bring your current design roadblocks, big or small. We'll brainstorm solutions together, offering fresh perspectives and collaborative magic. Think of it as a design support group fueled by a venti latte – supportive, empowering, and guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing again.
Inspiration station: Share your latest design finds, be it a mind-blowing website, a typography gem, or a color palette that sings. Think of it as a virtual Pinterest board with a double shot of creativity – inspiring, eye-catching, and guaranteed to leave you with a fresh design dose.

So, grab your favorite brew, fire up your laptop, and get ready to connect with your fellow design tribe! We'll be waiting with open ears, open minds, and maybe even a virtual cookie platter.

Register using the link below to secure your spot at this design fiesta! Or you can simply connect on the call without registration! We can't wait to connect with you and brew up some awesome design conversations.

Cheers to creativity, connections, and a whole lot of inspiration!

P.S. Feel free to come dressed in your PJs – we're all about embracing the comfy-cozy design life.

Why Join

Meet people who love design as much as you do. Together we learn new skills, grow our networks, and discover new job opportunities.

Questions? We've Got Answers

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.
