Mar 15, 2023, 11:30 PM – Mar 16, 2023, 1:00 AM

Tucson

Starting your career in UX? Hear stories from UX professionals and learners about how they found their way to UX, and share yours too!

About this event

Are you thinking about starting a career in UX but don’t know where to start? Looking for the right UX class to take? Or wondering how your experience connects to UX?

At this meetup, we’ll invite UX professionals and learners to share how they started in UX so you can get inspired. Join us for a round of lightning talks where speakers answer 5 questions:

- Who are you?

- What motivated you to get started in UX?

- What was your first UX-related project?

- How do you define UX today?

- How do you keep learning about UX?

You can also be a speaker and help inspire others! We’re doing it informally so you don’t need to prepare much, and you should bring a slide deck only if you want.

All are welcome here. You don’t need prior experience with UX, and you don’t need to be affiliated with the University of Arizona.
