The job market is nothing like what it was even 5 years ago. Let’s talk about it.

Whether you’re actively navigating the job market or simply want to keep a pulse on it, this event is for you.

Join me for a discussion with two designers who have landed jobs in the last 6 months and a recruiter as they tell us their stories and answer pressing questions about hiring, interviewing, and their personal experiences.

Want to Volunteer with FoF PDX in 2026?

As I look to grow this group in 2026, I’m looking for a few volunteers! 

Primarily, I am in need of folks who are interested in organizing and leading events, like workshops, book clubs, lectures, coffee chats, etc. But I would also love to hear from you if you’d like to help with day-of event logistics, photography, graphic design, etc.

You do not need to volunteer for a specific duration of time or a certain number of events — organizing one event is so appreciated!

Interested? Email me at sabrina.perry.ux@gmail.com or just find me to chat in-person at the event 😊
