Meetup Conversation

Hi all! Please use this conversation thread to discuss IxDF Toronto: 2024 Year-End Virtual Meetup held on Dec 17, 2024.

Hello everyone!

I’m Linda, and one of the new local leaders. I’m so excited to be joining this amazing group of people.

I’m still getting up to speed on what it means to be a local leader so please be patient with me.

Let’s get a conversation started. How did you get into UX?

For me, I worked for 11 years at the National Student Loan Service Centre before deciding that I’d had enough. I quit and went back to school, to Sheridan College specifically. I started in Visual and Creative Arts before transferring to Interaction Design. I loved the program and happily graduated in 2022. I worked as a UX Researcher for 1 year and 6 months before unfortunately getting laid off (with half the workforce!). Right now I’m working part time at Indigo while networking and job hunting.

Whew! This post was longer than I intended. But seriously, how is everyone right now?

Best,

Linda

Meetup attendees

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

Members might be bringing their non-member friends to a Local Group meetup (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 meetups work perfectly, and can facilitate deeper, more fruitful conversations.
