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.

Meetup Details

Hi IxDF New York City,

Let’s meet to share our experiences with successfully pivoting careers from other industries into UX/ Product Design. Let’s exchange ideas, resources, and strategies on UX portfolios that can draw from our previous careers.

Meetup Conversation

Pooja Raichur

Hi all! On Oct 3, 2022, let’s meet online to discuss how some of us successfully pivoted our careers into UX and give back to the community.

Discussion:

  • Overlap between previous careers and UX.

  • Share Resources (portfolio platforms, formats, resume coaches, etc)

  • Portfolio strategies for career pivoters.

I hope more members will join to give back and share! Hope to see you next Monday! Thank you.

I think this is a great idea! There are so many pivoters and their backgrounds can really contribute to UX - and UX can contribute to their former industries. :)

I tried joining but was left in the waiting room. Is this still happening?

April Yoder

Hi, Folks! I just joined IDF today and I’m a career pivoter! I’d love to see what you came up with in this discussion, or talk to you about your tips! I’m coming from an academic humanities background. I started a UX Research portfolio and plan to start focusing on UX Writing/Content Strategy in the coming month or so.

Please log in or join us to post comments in the conversation.

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.
