What we’re about

Hey there! 📚

Love product & UX design? So do we. Dive into a new topic and join us in person for casual convos and community vibes. All levels welcome—come to read, chat, or just connect. Read a little, a lot, or none at all—no pressure—and come hang out with the Chicago design community.

Each month, we pick a book or topic to dive into, post it here, and meet (either in person or virtually) to talk about it. Give it a read, or just skim if you're short on time — no pressure! All are welcome to connect with our Chicago UX community.

Got a cool UX story or some insights of your own? Share away! We're all ears for new topics to dive into or new meeting locations to try. Hope to see ya soon! ✌️👓

FAQs

How are books selected? It depends! We listen to suggestions from members and we also pick based on what's new and trending. You can find the list of books we have read here.

Do you have ✨Instagram✨?
Omgosh yes, we post excerpts from the books & take polls on what book we should read next. Follow us!

Do I need to read the book to attend?
Nope! We will have a few questions for the group to kick things off. We're a social group and we like to talk shop about all things UX. The book topics are a great icebreaker for us and there's always something new to learn!

How do you decide where to hold events?
Member recommendations and word of mouth. We are always looking for new and fun event spaces. You can find a list of the awesome businesses that have hosted us previously here.

If you are interested in hosting us, please contact Chris through Meetup.com, or slide into the DMs on the gram
