About us

This is a group for anyone interested in learning more about UX. I started this group to meet other UX enthusiasts in my area, and because I felt that most of the UX meetups I'd been attending were in San Francisco, and I was meeting more UX designers from San Jose who had also made the journey north! Things I'm hoping to accomplish by starting this group: \- Opportunity for peer review $ie: bring your portfolios or work and we'll take time giving you honest feedback$ \

\- Opportunity for mentorship $maybe you are a mentor\! maybe you are a mentee\!$ \- Place where you can bounce ideas around \- Place for potentially finding employers/talent
