What are Local Groups?

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 IxDF Zurich!
This meeting is about "Emphasise", the first step of design thinking. You have one month to think about the areas.
During the meeting we will start with this step, then, if we have time and inspiration, we will go on with Define and Ideate.
Let's meet up! Share UX design insights and resources, discuss UX problems you are facing now.

Oh kool. What is the design artifact? A real product?

Francesca Sanfilippo

I would like, yes!

Joanne Dimou

Hi all! :) I will attend this event with a very big interest. It will be the first UX event that I will attend in Zurich. Will we practise in the event our design process for a certain problem and discuss our thoughts or we will see a presentation from someone who will explain his/her process?


Thank you in advance.

:)

Hi, sorry for my late in answering, this meet up is the first step of our workshop. I will write an email with the planning of the meeting. I will be happy to see you there.

Hi all,

this Meetup is dedicated to the start of every Design Thinking project: Emphasize

Typically, the Design Challenge is an elaborated sentence that serves as a starting point for the upcoming project. It provides a thematic direction and serves as a fixed point for the team. Depending on the context, the challenge indicates focal points, target groups, challenging or promising areas for the upcoming process.

We would like to exchange ideas and thoughts about how you start your Design Thinking projects.
What role do Design Challenges play?
How can a good Challenge facilitate the start of a project?
When and how do you formulate them and what difficulties do you encounter in your daily work?

We will go on with the most important step: Emphasize.

Here is the agenda:

10:00 Get together
10:15 Warm-up
10:30 Exchange/Input
10:45 Emphasize
11:45 Personal projects of members

Let me know if everything is clear.

Hi guys,

ready for our meeting? I'm preparing all materials to our session of Design Thinking.
I remember that the place of the meeting is changed: now we are at Auer&Co, Sihlquai 131 - Zurich 8005
See you there!

Francesca Sanfilippo

Hi I’m 5 minutes late but I’m coming!

Ladislav Szolik

Hi all,

it was so amazing <3 I was so happy because the group worked together with a lot of enthusiasm.

I have some photos of the brainstorming. I have already digitalised it and sent to the members

This is the template that I’ve created for the interviews that we should share in the next meeting app (we will do 1 interview per member) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zSd2WI6jwlwXnVssYv-aVN0HhdgwmKCJ-ngCP70r4ws/edit?usp=sharing

Unluckily we don’t have a recordings of the meeting and we have to change the place because this coworking-bar opened on Saturday morning is free but you can’t do activities inside.

Have a nice day,

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.
