What we’re about
The Future of UX is Human. Come Define It With Us.
The UX landscape is changing fast. New tools, new rules, new workflows. It’s a lot to take in—but it’s also incredibly exciting if you have the right place to explore it.
UX Support Group (UXSG) is your sandbox to figure it out—together.
We are not a lecture hall where you sit quietly and take notes. We are a playground for the curious. We believe that Human Ingenuity + AI > AI alone, and the best way to learn is to open your laptop and play.
What makes us different?
- Active Exploration: We don't just talk about the future; we build it. We run live experiments with new tools to see what breaks and what works.
- Permission to Play: Forget "best practices" for a moment. This is a low-stakes environment where you can ask "what if?", test bold ideas, and learn by doing.
- Human-First: We focus on how technology amplifies your unique human strengths—empathy, strategy, and creativity.
Who is this for?
Whether you are just starting to dip your toes into AI or you are a seasoned leader looking for fresh inspiration, you belong here if you are curious.
Guided by Experience
UXSG was founded by Danny Setiawan (20+ years in UX) and is driven by a team of practitioner-facilitators. We bring the structure; you bring the curiosity.
Why isn't this free?
We use the event fee as a gauge of interest. It ensures that the people in the room are present, engaged, and ready to participate.

•Online[Workshop] UX in the AI Revolution: How to Position Yourself
Online## Is Your UX Career at Risk? Find Out for Yourself.
You've heard the headlines: "AI is replacing designers." "Mass layoffs in tech." "Junior roles disappearing." But what's actually happening in the UX job market right now?
In this hands-on workshop, you won't just hear about the transformation—you'll discover it yourself using AI.
## What You'll Do
This isn't a lecture. This is a guided investigation where you'll:
✅ Use AI tools to research real-time UX job market data
✅ Uncover the hidden patterns in layoffs, hiring, and role evolution
✅ Discover why traditional UX career paths are collapsing
✅ Identify what's replacing them (hint: it's not what you think)
✅ Walk away with a personalized action plan for your career stage
## Who Should Attend
- Junior designers wondering why entry-level jobs have vanished
- Mid-level professionals feeling stuck or suddenly vulnerable
- Senior designers trying to understand where the industry is headed
- UX managers watching their teams get restructured
- Career changers considering whether UX is still a viable path
If you work in UX/UI design, product design, or UX research—this workshop will change how you see your career trajectory.
## What Makes This Different
Instead of telling you what's happening, we're giving you the tools to investigate it yourself. You'll use AI to:
- Pull current job market statistics
- Analyze real job postings and salary data
- Identify which roles are disappearing and which are emerging
- Understand the economic forces driving these changes
By the end, you'll have:
- ✨ A clear picture of the new UX landscape (based on data YOU found)
- ✨ Confidence using AI as a research and career planning tool
- ✨ A personalized upskilling roadmap
- ✨ Community support from others navigating the same transformation
## What You Need
- Laptop or desktop computer
- Access to Claude.ai OR Perplexity.ai (free accounts work fine)
- Stable internet connection
## What You'll Walk Away With
📊 Hard data about what's really happening (not just panic headlines)
🎯 Clear understanding of the "Super IC" model replacing traditional teams
🛠️ Practical AI skills you'll use again for career research
📋 Personalized action items based on YOUR current situation
🤝 Connection with other UX professionals navigating the same shift
## Fair Warning
This workshop presents unfiltered reality about the current UX job market. You'll see data that might be uncomfortable. But you'll also leave with clarity, direction, and actionable steps—rather than vague anxiety about "AI taking jobs."
If you prefer optimistic platitudes over honest assessment, this isn't for you.
If you want to understand what's actually happening so you can position yourself strategically—register now.

Get ready to make AI completely lose the plot. In this playful, hands-on lab, you’ll team up to push image-generation tools until they produce the most absurd, laugh-out-loud results—while quietly exposing where AI still falls short and humans shine.
Why Attend?
- See exactly where AI breaks, misfires, or censors you, and why human judgment, ethics, and creativity are still essential.
- Turn “AI will replace me” anxiety into confidence by experiencing how much direction and correction AI needs from you.
- Leave with concrete stories, screenshots, and talking points you can use to explain AI’s limits and possibilities to your team.
What You'll Experience
- A short demo using simple, free image-generation tools so everyone can jump in quickly.
- Small-group “Break the AI” challenges to craft ridiculous prompts, chase the weirdest outputs, and vote on the most spectacular failures.
- A fast debrief to map what you saw to real UX and product decisions, clarifying where AI helps—and where only humans can do the job.
