Helena Levison joins us as a special guest and shares her story of starting CPHUX, Denmark’s largest UX community. We cover a bunch of topics such as the valuable services a professional community can offer its members, learning what UX is really like from current professionals, overcoming shyness, and even what it takes to be a successful community organizer. So close your web browser, stop tinkering with your portfolio, and go meet some new designers! You might tap into the “hidden” job market and discover your next career opportunity. But more importantly, you might learn a lot and make some new friends along the way.
