Interactive Workshop: Mastering User Research Techniques

Are you passionate about User Experience (UX), product development, and building real things? Join us for the inaugural meetup of "UX Builders," a new Portland-area group dedicated to hands-on learning, collaboration, and portfolio building!

This isn't just another networking event. While we'll definitely have time to socialize and introduce ourselves, the core mission of Maine UX Collective is to work together on real-world projects. Our goal is to create tangible products that you can proudly add to your portfolio, helping you:

• Strengthen your existing skills
• Learn brand new disciplines
• Experience a new role you might not typically fill in your day job

We believe in the power of interdisciplinary teams. We welcome and need individuals from all facets of the product development lifecycle. If you identify with any of the following roles (or others!), this group is for you:

• UX Designer (UI/Interaction Design)
• UX Researcher (Usability Testing, User Interviews)
• Product Manager (Strategy, Roadmapping, Scoping)
• Coding / Development (Front-End & Back-End Development)
• Data Analyst (Analytics, Metrics, A/B Testing)
• Content Strategist / UX Writer (Copywriting, Information Architecture)
• Project Manager / Scrum Master (Process, Organization)
• QA Analyst (Testing, Bug Reporting)

For our first meetup, we will:

• Introduce the vision for "Maine UX Collective"
• Discuss project ideas and gauge interest
• Network and get to know other local professionals
• Collaborate on setting goals for future hands-on workshops

Event Details:

• Date: December 17, 2025
• Time: 6:30 PM
• Location: 50 Wharf St, Portland, ME 04101

Come meet your future project teammates and let's start building something great together!
