IterateUX is an online UX community through Discord who helps aspiring UX professionals practice their UX skills through design challenges, portfolio reviews, and whiteboard challenges.
They are a group of volunteers who host webinars, challenges, and workshops through Discord & Zoom where UX professionals chat for feedback and career advice.
The current problem is growth & expansion of IterateUX to create a global UX community, including expand members outside Seattle & Vancouver. They do not have a community outreach team for reaching out professionals volunteer their time and host workshops, webinars, and challenges for aspiring UX designers.
Community Engagement Opportunity
IterateUX wants to evolve and keep growing as a community. A year ago, they launched a community forum on Discord. The goal behind IterateUX Discord Server is to provide an interactive and engaging community to learn and build ourselves to become strong UX Designers. Currently, the Discord forum provides portfolio reviews, design reviews, career help, UX design resources, and much more. Lately, there has not been much engagement on Discord. The goal is to learn and provide recommendations on increasing engagement through UX research.
