SUMMARY:AI in the Workflow - Unpolished: UX Office Hours
DESCRIPTION:Unpolished: UX Office Hours is a monthly\, in-person gathering for UX designers and researchers of all experience levels. There’s no formal speaker and no slides—just a light theme\, optional co-working\, and space to talk through real work with other UX folks in Austin. \n\n\n\nThis month’s theme is AI in the Workflow (What’s Actually Working). \n\n\n\nWhat we’ll focus on\n\n\n\nAI tools are showing up everywhere in UX work—but the reality is messier than the hype. \n\n\n\nThis session is about sharing what’s actually working (and what isn’t)\, including: \n\n\n\n\nWhere AI has saved time or reduced friction\n\n\n\nWhere it’s introduced risk\, bias\, or confusion\n\n\n\nHow people are using AI for research\, synthesis\, design\, or writing\n\n\n\nHow to talk about AI use with stakeholders and teams\n\n\n\n\nNo demos. No pitches. No pressure to be an expert. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect\n\n\n\n\nCo-working time to settle in and work alongside others\n\n\n\nOffice hours–style conversations around real AI-related UX challenges\n\n\n\nOptional show & tell at the end (5 minutes\, one example\, totally voluntary)\n\n\n\n\nBring a tool\, a workflow\, a concern—or just curiosity. \n\n\n\nWho should come\n\n\n\n\nUX designers and researchers\n\n\n\nProduct folks navigating AI decisions\n\n\n\nPeople experimenting\, skeptical\, or somewhere in between\n\n\n\n\nAll experience levels are welcome. \n\n\n\nWhy “Unpolished”?\n\n\n\nBecause AI-enabled UX work is evolving in real time. This is a space to talk honestly about uncertainty\, tradeoffs\, and learning as we go. \n\n\n\nLogistics\n\n\n\n\nSpace is limited; please RSVP\n\n\n\nThis is an in-person event

SUMMARY:Career Crossroads - Unpolished: UX Office Hours
DESCRIPTION:Unpolished: UX Office Hours is a monthly\, in-person gathering for UX designers and researchers of all experience levels. There’s no formal speaker and no slides—just a light theme\, optional co-working\, and space to talk through real work and real questions with other UX folks in Austin. \n\n\n\nThis month’s theme is Career Crossroads. \n\n\n\nWhat we’ll focus on\n\n\n\nMost UX careers don’t follow a straight line. Roles shift. Expectations change. Burnout happens. \n\n\n\nCareer Crossroads is a space to talk honestly about questions like: \n\n\n\n\nWhat’s next in my UX career?\n\n\n\nHow do I grow without becoming a manager?\n\n\n\nAgency vs. in-house vs. independent work\n\n\n\nNavigating burnout\, plateaus\, or transitions\n\n\n\n\nThis is conversation—not coaching or recruiting. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect\n\n\n\n\nCo-working or quiet reflection time to ease in\n\n\n\nOffice hours–style conversations around career questions\n\n\n\nOptional group share-out at the end for insights or resources\n\n\n\n\nCome with a question\, a story\, or just a listening ear. \n\n\n\nWho should come\n\n\n\n\nUX folks at any career stage\n\n\n\nPeople considering a change\n\n\n\nLeaders figuring out what “growth” means now\n\n\n\n\nStudents and early-career designers are welcome\, too. \n\n\n\nWhy “Unpolished”?\n\n\n\nBecause career questions are rarely tidy. This is a space for honesty\, reflection\, and learning from others who’ve been there—or are there right now. \n\n\n\nLogistics\n\n\n\n\nSpace is limited; please RSVP\n\n\n\nThis is an in-person event

SUMMARY:Stakeholder Reality Check - Unpolished UX Office Hours
DESCRIPTION:What this is \n\n\n\nUnpolished: UX Office Hours is a monthly\, in-person gathering for UX designers and researchers of all experience levels. There’s no formal speaker and no slides — just a light theme\, optional co-working\, and space to talk through real work with other UX folks in Austin. \n\n\n\nThis month’s theme is Stakeholder Reality Check. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we’ll focus on\n\n\n\nUX work doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Research gets questioned. Design gets revised. Priorities shift. \n\n\n\nStakeholder Reality Check is a space to talk honestly about the human dynamics of UX work\, including: \n\n\n\n\nWhen research is ignored\n\n\n\nWhen design decisions get overridden\n\n\n\nNavigating AI enthusiasm (or resistance) from leadership\n\n\n\nInfluencing without formal authority\n\n\n\nManaging competing priorities\n\n\n\n\nNo venting-for-the-sake-of-venting. Just thoughtful conversation about what works\, what doesn’t\, and how we handle it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat to expect\n\n\n\n\nCo-working time to settle in\n\n\n\nOffice hours–style conversations in small groups\n\n\n\nOptional share-out for insights or lessons learned\n\n\n\n\nBring a situation you’re navigating — or just listen and contribute where you can. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should come\n\n\n\n\nDesigners and researchers at any level\n\n\n\nUX leads and managers\n\n\n\nAnyone working with stakeholders (so… all of us)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy “Unpolished”?\n\n\n\nBecause stakeholder dynamics are rarely tidy. This is a space to talk about the real-world context of UX work — not the polished version.

SUMMARY:Portfolio & Storytelling Lab - Unpolished: UX Office Hours
DESCRIPTION:What this is \n\n\n\nUnpolished: UX Office Hours is a monthly\, in-person gathering for UX designers and researchers. No speaker. No slides. Just space to work\, reflect\, and learn from each other. \n\n\n\nThis month’s theme is Portfolio & Storytelling Lab. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we’ll focus on\n\n\n\nStrong UX work doesn’t always translate into a strong story. \n\n\n\nThis session is about how we talk about our work — especially when it’s messy\, collaborative\, or AI-assisted. \n\n\n\nWe’ll explore: \n\n\n\n\nFraming impact (not just screens)\n\n\n\nTurning messy process into a clear narrative\n\n\n\nExplaining AI-supported workflows honestly\n\n\n\nShowing strategic thinking in case studies\n\n\n\nRepresenting research clearly and ethically\n\n\n\n\nThis is not a formal portfolio review — it’s a working lab. Bring a draft\, a question\, or a story you’re trying to sharpen. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat to expect\n\n\n\n\nOptional co-working time\n\n\n\nSmall group feedback conversations\n\n\n\nLight structure to keep critique constructive\n\n\n\n\nBring your laptop — or just bring curiosity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should come\n\n\n\n\nDesigners updating their portfolio\n\n\n\nResearchers refining case studies\n\n\n\nAnyone thinking about career growth\n\n\n\nStudents and career changers\n\n\n\n\nAll experience levels welcome. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy “Unpolished”?\n\n\n\nBecause your portfolio is always evolving. This is a space to refine the story before it’s finished.

SUMMARY:UX in the Gray Areas - Unpolished: UX Office Hours
DESCRIPTION:What this is \n\n\n\nUnpolished: UX Office Hours is a monthly\, in-person gathering for UX designers and researchers in Austin. No formal talk — just thoughtful conversation and shared work. \n\n\n\nThis month’s theme is UX in the Gray Areas. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we’ll focus on\n\n\n\nNot every UX decision is clear-cut. \n\n\n\nSometimes we’re working with incomplete data. Conflicting user needs. Technical constraints. Ethical tradeoffs. AI edge cases. Accessibility limitations. Business pressure. \n\n\n\nThis session is about the moments where things aren’t black and white. \n\n\n\nWe’ll talk about: \n\n\n\n\nMaking decisions with imperfect information\n\n\n\nBalancing business and user needs\n\n\n\nNavigating ethical tensions\n\n\n\nDesigning responsibly in AI-enabled systems\n\n\n\nWhere you’ve had to compromise — and why\n\n\n\n\nThis isn’t about right answers. It’s about thoughtful reflection. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat to expect\n\n\n\n\nCo-working or quiet reflection time to start\n\n\n\nSmall group discussions\n\n\n\nOptional group share-out of insights\n\n\n\n\nCome with a real example — or just listen and contribute when it feels right. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should come\n\n\n\n\nMid to senior UX practitioners\n\n\n\nDesigners navigating complexity\n\n\n\nResearchers wrestling with nuance\n\n\n\nAnyone who’s ever said\, “It depends.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy “Unpolished”?\n\n\n\nBecause the hardest UX work happens in the gray areas — before there’s a clean story to tell.
