In The Beginning:
In 2009, a simple Twitter feed emerged as @ia_uxjobs, igniting a movement by designers, for designers. With a grassroots ethos and a hand-curated touch, it aimed to uplift overlooked talents and roles in the industry. Its mission was clear: to amplify positivity and spread good news, acknowledging the harsh reality that job hunting often meant battling fear, doubt, and rejection.
Throughout the journey, there were bumps and mistakes. The road was bumpy, marked by failed international partnerships. A venture into podcasting briefly sparked excitement but fizzled out on the wayside.
Yet, through all the challenges and setbacks, the essence persevered. Today, after years of perseverance, this endeavor thrives online. It stands as a testament to the power of resilience, dedication, and the shared passion of a community that weathered the storms and emerged stronger than ever.
Our Mission:
- We believe we're all in this together.
- Together, we rise, because if we're not supporting each other in the short time we have on this planet, then what the hell are we doing?
- We believe that the world is full of problems, and product designers, visual designers, and UX researchers are the best problem solvers alive.
- Our mission is to unite and empower this community to drive positive change through design, fostering collaboration, and championing innovation. We are committed to connecting talented individuals with opportunities that allow them to create impactful, user-centered solutions. Join us in shaping a future where design doesn't just make things look good; it makes the world better.
We don't claim to be #1. We just aim to be useful. We think that's more important.
