Hi there! Welcome to a group for UI/UX designers, product designers, and anyone else interested in design! The group started in May 2022 to meet other designers and build a community here in SoCal, with Ruping Ma, a product designer working remotely at a startup. By the second meeting, group organizers Melissa Murphy and Benji Tobi joined in forming the vision, and since 2023 have led the group to Share, Learn, and Grow together.

We host social hangouts as well as more educational speaker talks from designers in the area on a wide variety of topics.

The goals of our group are to bring you:

A place where you can meet other designers and develop relationships with each other
A place where you can share your thoughts and experience about being a designer and exchange ideas with others
Provide opportunities for working on projects together with other designers
Feel free to join our group Discord if you'd like to connect with other designers, have any trouble finding the meetup location, or if you have good ideas for future meetup events.
