A UX/UI community is a group made up of aspiring and/or current UX design professionals. These communities typically consist of user experience designers, interaction designers, creative directors, visual designers, prototypers, information architects, and usability analysts.
Both UI designers and UX design professionals face the same challenges because the two fields are fairly similar. Consequently, it’s pretty common to find UI designers in UX communities.
UX communities serve different purposes. They help designers meet and network with other professionals in the field. You will also find beginners, intermediates, and experts in these communities. There are plenty of learning and networking opportunities when you join a good UX community.
There are many online UX design communities. Most of these groups are hosted on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack. Unfortunately, only a small portion of UX design communities deliver value. The vast majority are made up of members sharing links and nothing else.
The best UX design communities have active members that are committed to helping each other out. A community that helps you meet, network, and learn from UX designers of all skill levels from around the world. That’s the kind of community we’ve built at Kickass UX.
The Kickass UX community (Kickass Family) is a tight-knit group of designers. The goal of the community is to help graphic designers learn and practice UX, and grow in their careers. You can expert an active community of people eager to help you out when you’re stuck. A community that will challenge you to be better and stay on top of the ever-evolving UX design world.
The Kickass UX community hosts a live Q&A session every month. Members are also given monthly challenges, topic deep-dives, a free UX design course, and bi-weekly office hours.
The Kickass UX community is made up of graphic designers, visual designers, and UI designers. The community consists of members of different skill levels, so newbies and experienced designers alike feel comfortable.
The Kickass UX community is split into three levels; level 0, level 1, and level 2. Members who are the most engaged and continually participate get upgraded to higher levels where they receive more resources.
For example, level 1 members get our free UX design course, weekly office hours, weekly challenges, and monthly topic deep dives. Meanwhile, level 2 members are given a 5% discount on Kickass courses, monthly Q&A sessions, and office hour video recordings.
In our humble opinions, yes, the Kickass UX community will help you learn and grow as a user experience designer. Our community provides networking opportunities where you will meet top designers.
You will also find the weekly challenges, monthly Q&A sessions, and our collection of courses very helpful. These will fast-track your learning process, equipping you with all the skills you need to be a successful UX designer.
