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.

Meetup Details

Join us for an insightful session where we explore how understanding human behaviour can lead to smarter, more intuitive design. Drawing on my background in behavioural science (psychology and neuroscience), I’ll share practical examples of how cognitive biases, decision-making processes, and user psychology can inform and elevate your design work. Whether you're a UX designer, researcher, or just curious about the science behind design, this Meetup will offer valuable takeaways to help you create with empathy and impact.

Meetup attendees

IxDF Members show their interest to attend a meetup by clicking the “Attend this meetup” button.

IxDF Members might also be bringing their non-member friends to the meetup (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 meetups work perfectly, and can facilitate deeper, more fruitful conversations.
