What are Local Groups?
Local Groups will expand your career network—whether you are interested in learning new skills, finding job opportunities or looking for a new employee.
A Local Group is a group of people who, like you, are passionate about design. Local Groups organize meetings to get inspired, have fun and learn from one another.

Meet-Up Details

Hi UX designers in Seattle! Take a break from holiday shopping and learn "Prototyping with a Purpose."

Prototyping is a powerful tool in the UX Designer's kit to help explore, explain, and validate concepts at any product stage. But mastery of this tool means more than developing skills with the latest screen-sequencing software or web app. It also means fully understanding what you're trying to do or learn, and which prototyping method may be quickest vs. best for getting answers.

In this talk, Michael will discuss goals for prototyping, share collected best practices, show examples from a wide range of projects, and provide helpful heuristics for future reference.

Our presenter, Michael Longe, is an accomplished design leader and team manager with hands-on experience in UX design, research, and rapid prototyping for mobile, embedded, and desktop/Web platforms, as well as an MBA focused on Technology Entrepreneurship. Beyond his daily duties defining UX strategy and establishing Design Ops for evolving companies, his knowledge and personal interests have spanned Cloud-connected devices, UI technology patents, assistive and augmentative technologies, electric vehicles, and robotics. Michael has restarted his consulting business to offer ValidConcept – a comprehensive design, prototyping, and user research service.

Finally, and this is VERY important, please do not commit unless you are 100% certain you can attend! We've had numerous meetups with poor attendance compared to those committed, and it affects the meetings. Remember, empathy for your users (the rest of the attendees). See you soon!

Meet-up attendees

Members can show their interest to attend a meet-up by clicking “Attend this meet-up” button. In addition, since Local Groups events are open to all, non-members can also attend these meet-ups.

Members might be bringing their non-member friends to a Local Group meet-up (and you’re welcome to do the same), but their non-member friends will not be shown as “attending” because this feature is only available to members.

P.S.: Note that the number of attendees is not an indication of its value! Small meet-ups work perfectly, and can facilitate deeper, more fruitful conversations.
