Meetup Details

Hello! I hope you are well.
My name is Altovise “Allie” Curtis and I am a Sr. UX Strategist, Researcher, and Product Designer who now serves as a full-time mentor and coach. A few years ago, I started CappUXcino N Coffee (from IxDF) as a small meetup in San Diego, CA which quickly grew. From those efforts (a signature workshop called UX Idol, bi-weekly in-person meetups, and community involvement with my 20+ mentees) has become a business (UX Professionals Mentorship, LLC) to continue advocating for junior-level UXers and the companies that need them.

I recently kicked off a new initiative from Sept. 1 through Q4 ‘21 called Jobs for Juniors. The goal is to have 20 junior-level UXers hired by January 2022. One of the efforts - and there are a few - is a collective (virtual) workshop to create/write the Jobs for Juniors Manifesto. It’s something I’ve been wanting to create for almost 3 years and am ready to move forward and put it out into the world.

I find great power in collaboration, especially an initiative such as this where diverse voices are needed, and would love to open up the process of creating it with you to ensure every voice that matters is heard and accounted for.

The date has been set for September 28th, 2021 and details are forthcoming to those who sign up to participate. Please help spread the word.

YOU are more than welcome to join us for this virtual event to create a holistic Manifesto for our Junior-level peers.

  • Newbie and seasoned UXers: researchers, designers, strategists, writers, etc.

  • Product professionals

  • Recruiters

  • Hiring managers

  • Team leads

  • HR professionals​

Let's make a change... TOGETHER!
Sign up at https://links.uxprofessionalsmentorship.com/j4j-manifesto. It’s FREE. I hope you’ll join us.

Gratefully, Allie Curtis

I'd like to give a special shoutout and Thank You to the wonderful participants of yesterday's workshop, Jobs for Juniors in UX: The Manifesto! These wonderful people have helped put something in motion that will be the change we all hope to see in hiring for User Experience.

As co-authors, their names will be listed on every digital and physical printed copy that goes out into the world. We are continuing to collaborate through the month of October to create this masterpiece which will change the trajectory of and conversations surrounding the hiring process for up-and-coming UX professionals and the industry as a whole.

It is my hope that you will join us in this endeavor as an ally, supporter, and advocate. You can help now by pre-ordering your DIGITAL copy which will be released in the middle of November 2021. Pre-order today!

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.
