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. There is a time for working hard, and a time for letting off some steam.
This event was originally in person, but due to COVID-19, our leadership team has elected to shift this to a digital happy hour.

I'll be posting a few lovable elixirs in our Slack channel, and I'll plan to be online via Slack from 5-6pm EST with a concoction in hand. I hope you'll join me, tell us what your home drink lab is mixing up that evening, and add to the conversation.

Have a place you'd like to see the next UX Happy Hour in your neighborhood? Let me know and I'll try to get a diverse set of locations for the next batch of Happy Hour's as we head into the warmer Spring months. Thanks for contributing in advance!

This event has been changed from an in-person event to a digital happy hour due to COVID-19. See you all on the Slack channels instead. I'll be on from 5-6pm EST.

Hello,

I hope everyone is safe and well during this COVID19 seasons.

I am new to design so I was wondering what are the basic tools that I would have to familiarize myself with? ( Adobe photoshop, html, etc)

Looking forward to learning more!!

Hannah Kinser

Hi Gianni,

I'm a newbie as well but I believe Sketch and Invision. Hope that helps.

Raymundo Ginez

The trends are vary but these are my thoughts. Axure is great to get your into wireframes and mid to fidelity to design system solutions.

While Sketch, Figma, and Adobe XD are powerful tools their more UI driven and offer various plugins add-ons for various nice to have solutions.

You'd have to do research on what's your preference and learn each platforms quirks. My goal is just to use a tool to help me with the conversation with clients and partners as we move through different iteration of our design idea.

Gianni Handoko
thanks for those thoughts. I'm excited to dive into learning more!!

Hi Tenaya, I clicked the Slack link and it asked me to create an account. After doing so, I'm only able to access my Slack account. Is there a link or an invite you can send to my Slack account?

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.
