IxDF Zoom Hangout

Add to your calendar:

Hi IxDF Pittsburgh,

I was hoping during these odd times of quarantine that we could revitalize this community.

I am taking IxDF courses to help supplement my learning in UX design. I am graduating with my masters in design this coming May, and would love to make connections within Pittsburgh with people who are also learning UX.

I was hoping we could share our experiences with UX and where we hope to go with it.

(I've enabled wait room, so I will be looking for a name/email to match up with those who have signed up)

    Hello! Yes, the setup is a little confusing and I accidentally made it may 15th, and then I edited it to April 17th. So it should be April 17th (Friday) from 2:00-3:00. Hope to see you then!

    Hello! I've shared the zoom link in the description - I've enabled wait room just so we don't get any spam bots, so I'll be looking for your name to match with the names attending. See you all tomorrow at 2:00!

    I'd just like to get an idea of the IxDF community in Pittsburgh and hopefully see how we can grow it! I am making a transition to Design from Customer Support so I'm in IxDF to round out my skills. Also, would someone mind sharing the link for the Zoom meeting with me?

    Hello everyone, glad that people will be there :) If you wouldn't mind commenting, what do you all hope to achieve within the hour of our meetup? I was thinking introductions, why we are in IxDF, and how we are currently doing in quarantine.

Questions? We've Got Answers

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.

Remember: Your network is your net worth.

What goes on in an IxDF Local Group?

Your IxDF Local Group is led by an IxDF Local Leader and serves as a vibrant hub where you can network, learn and grow.

Here's what you can expect:

  • A community of professionals from all walks of life, who share a passion for great design and how it can benefit their career, their company, and society in general.

  • We help each other find new career opportunities and jobs.

  • We also host more formal workshops to share knowledge and learn from each other, e.g., case studies, success stories and practical experiences.

  • We have ongoing conversations about current design topics and local opportunities, which can help you stay ahead of industry developments and identify career opportunities.

  • And lastly, peer-led sessions focused on specific design challenges that will help you build expertise and sharpen your problem-solving skills.

In other words, we learn together and smile together. We lift each other up.

I'm not even a designer. Should I still join an IxDF Local Group?

Yes, absolutely!

IxDF Local Groups are for everyone, regardless of your professional background.

Design skills make you valuable. In any job and any industry. That's why our IxDF Local Groups are not just for professional designers. They're communities of professionals from all walks of life, who share a passion for great design and how it can benefit their career, their company, and society in general.

No matter what your job currently is, you'll find a supportive community to connect and grow with.

Each meetup is a chance to grow, learn, and connect with passionate professionals like yourself. Even small gatherings create big opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Learn Together.
Smile Together

In a world that's getting more artificial, lonely, and competitive, IxDF brings the heart back.

We're a community with heart and soul, so you never have to face the job market alone. At IxDF, we lift each other up, learn together, and spark friendships that grow your career.
