What are Local Groups?
Local Groups will expand your career network—whether you are interested in learning new skills, finding job opportunities or looking for a new employee.
A Local Group is a group of people who, like you, are passionate about design. Local Groups organize meetings to get inspired, have fun and learn from one another.

Meet-Up Details

Hey everyone,

Often, I get questions on user experience topics—what differences in designer titles mean; what designers do in different orgs; what are important UX trends; how to conduct user research etc.

I'm hosting an 'Ask me Anything!' where you can submit questions in advance and ask them on the fly in an 'anything goes' Q&A style webinar.

Senior Manager, UX Research @ Verizon

Local Leader @ IDF/NYC

Some info about me:
I've spent my entire career in human-computer interaction work—creating human-centered experiences for over 8 years. The majority of my time has been spent in interaction design, working at various agencies creating websites and mobile applications for enterprise clients. For the past 2+ years, I've been in-house at Verizon, helping shape their user research practice and leading insights work for our mobile phone plans, 5G technology, our mobile app and our Loyalty program. Most recently, I've built an in-house rapid research program to support the rest of our team with quick usability evaluations.

I'm comfortable with:

  • user research
  • design thinking
  • information architecture
  • interaction design
  • ux strategy
  • stakeholder & project management

I'm rusty with:

  • visual/UI design
  • graphic design
  • content strategy
  • programming
  • 'ins-&-outs' of design tools
  • AI/machine learning

ASK YOUR QUESTIONS:

Using this slido link, you can submit questions in advance. During the live Q&A session, I'll answer the most popular ones and you'll also be able to ask questions live yourself.

Meet-Up Conversation

Hi all! Please use this discussion thread to discuss UX with Devin Harold: Ask me Anything! held on Jul 13, 2020. Feel free to ask questions about the place, date and time, agenda of the meeting, or anything else.

Hi Devin ,

Love the "ask anything"theme ,

Taking into account what is happening on the planet i notice a major push back on the east studying in the west and vice versa . I am on the Shanghai Group as well ito research being done regarding UX dev globally

This ties in well with your meetup request as a lot of questions being asked there can be answered with great integrity by Groups in the west and since NY is a leading global group the question here is if a few NY members can perhaps join up in Shanghai .

Regards,

Dereck

Hey Dereck, yeah, I think this could be great opportunity for NYC members to learn from other groups around the world as well. If you wanted to send any folks from Shanghai to this webinar, that could be really great!

Likewise, let me know when you have interesting content you'd like to get eyes on from over there and we can make that happen.

Hi Devon ,

Great idea , i'll post the webinar on the Shanghai Group and ask them to join your Group , you can also send your members that way . It's fabulous that we can use the IDF platform to link these groups.

Ito interesting content we're doing some great research to marry Health & UX (Google Medical Futurist to get a gist of possibilities) , we're also pursuing collab between Environmental issues , Agriculture matters and how UX can be used to expand , enrich and improve thinking in these fields.

Hello, I just joined but I don't think it's active right now. Is it already over or something changed?

Hey Yoojin, I am incredibly sorry about this. I was absolutely sure I had scheduledthis for tomorrow but somehow it was for today and didn’t see it. My sincerest apologies about the inconvenience

Hi Devin, I understand, that happens to me as well. I've been following up few meet-ups facilitated by you, and they were very helpful. Thanks for all that you've been doing for the community and hope I'll hear for you soon, again!

Hello everyone,

Welcome, Mandla.

People, I am organizing a conference - World-class Designer Conference, a 24-hour design event with more than 40 speakers from companies such as Google, Facebook, IDEO.org, Shopify, Grab, Visa, Boeing, Adobe, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and more. You can learn more about the event here. I have free tickets for you all and your communities. Please, let me know if you are interested.

Best,


Hi Devon ,

I have copied an Email above from a discussion we're having in South Africa . Below is the Email address of the Organizer .I think this is a great opportunity for the IDF platform to sync as 1 Community and your Group in NYC is 1 of the most influential.

Meet-up attendees

Members can show their interest to attend a meet-up by clicking “Attend this meet-up” button. In addition, since Local Groups events are open to all, non-members can also attend these meet-ups.

Members might be bringing their non-member friends to a Local Group meet-up (and you’re welcome to do the same), but their non-member friends will not be shown as “attending” because this feature is only available to members.

P.S.: Note that the number of attendees is not an indication of its value! Small meet-ups work perfectly, and can facilitate deeper, more fruitful conversations.
