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

Becoming “world class” at anything is not easy, but like all journeys, it begin with one step.

We will be inviting Guidione Machava who is currently a product designer at Lepsta Inc. Guidione will be sharing his career journey so far and exploring the career requirements for professional designers and unravel that complexity by giving fresh perspective to world-class design.

There will also be a workshop on collaborative design with Olayanju Idris, a process driven Freelance UI/UX designer passionate about building digital products for brands and startups. The workshop will cover best tools and practices for collaborative design.

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.
