Dear UX Designers! Let’s build an Online Community Toolbox!
A master list of the top online UX design communities specifically for YOU to connect, learn, and skyrocket your career.
I’ve got a few starting points, but this is where the community magic happens! What online spaces have been game-changers in your UX journey? Share your favorites in the comments below!
Here’s what to consider when recommending your picks:
* **Platform:** Is it a Slack group, forum, subreddit, or something else entirely?
* **Focus:** Does it cater specifically to junior UX designers, or is it a broader UX community?
* **Benefits:** What makes this community stand out for beginners? (Think mentorship programs, job boards, portfolio feedback, etc.)
**Let’s build a one-stop resource for all the aspiring UX designers out there! **
Here are a few communities to kick off the brainstorm:
