IterateUX is a community of 8,000+ UX and Product Design professionals across 15+ countries. Free events, mentor-guided design challenges, and expert portfolio reviews — and the conversation between all of it happens on Discord.
Most design "communities" are an audience: you post, you wait, you get likes. Ours works like a studio — share a rough flow at 10am, get it kindly torn apart by noon, ship version two better. That loop is why we're called IterateUX.
Post work in progress, get specific feedback from peers and senior designers. Rough drafts welcome — that's the point.
Real talk about the market, openings shared by members, and expert eyes on your portfolio before you hit "apply."
The home channel for our flagship challenge: prompts, team chatter, and direct access to mentors.
First access to whiteboard challenges, speaker sessions, and program sign-ups. Seats are limited and go fast.
A 6-week, mentor-guided challenge where you work in a team on realistic AI product scenarios — human-AI interaction, trust, explainability, ethical design — and finish with a portfolio-ready UX + AI case study.
Form your team, pick a challenge prompt, and anchor the project in a defined problem statement.
User interviews, competitive analysis, and mapping AI risks — bias, trust, and failure points.
Journey mapping, defining the AI's role (assistant vs. automation), and HMW statements.
Crazy 8s sketching, AI interaction loops (input → AI → output), and low-fi wireframes.
Mid-fi prototyping, designing for AI uncertainty and failure states, mentor feedback rounds.
Case study structure, presentation coaching, and a live showcase to the community — plus your certificate.
The Portfolio Review Sprint is a free, 2-week program of structured 1:1 reviews run by expert mentors with 4+ years in UX and product design.
Bring a portfolio with 3+ case studies. You'll be matched with a mentor whose experience aligns with your target roles — so the feedback is relevant, specific, and free.
Free, live sessions on Discord and Zoom — weekly and monthly. Pick a format, bring questions, leave with something you can use.
UX leaders and working designers on hiring, research, AI in design, and what actually happens inside product teams. Q&A isn't an afterthought — it's half the session.
Form a team, get a prompt, solve it live — monthly. Join as a participant when you're ready, or observe your first one. Cameras optional.
Watch challenge teams present finished case studies and see how mentors give feedback — before you build your own.
From designers who finished the challenge.
It will take you through the whole design process in 6 weeks and give you some practical experience without promising you the world. You might make some valuable friends and contacts.
The challenge provided a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and collaborate with a team of motivated designers dedicated to problem-solving.
That's the whole onboarding.
discord.gg/iterateux — free, no application.
Where you are in your design journey is enough.
An event, the challenge waitlist, or a portfolio sprint. The first iteration is the hardest — this one takes a click.
IterateUX is a non-profit run by designers, for designers. The events, the critiques, the mentors, the portfolio reviews — free. The only other cost is showing up.
