UX, UI and prototyping: best LinkedIn groups to join now
Discover the best LinkedIn groups UX/UI practitioners should join to maximizetheir prototyping potential.
Here at Justinmind, we’re big fans of LinkedIn for boosting our prototyping and UX/UI knowledge. But as with all social networking, at times the volume of information can get overwhelming. Staying abreast of the latest trends and tools in web and mobile design can sometimes feel like a full time job in itself!
Of course, there’s a solution to this information overload — LinkedIn Groups.
Joining a LinkedIn group can give you access to tons of resources on UX/UI and prototyping, plus connections to industry figures, idea-swapping with a global community of fellow UX/UI professionals, curated content and up-to-the-minute industry news. And joining a LinkedIn group is a great way to build your own personal brand as a prototype or software designer while improving your design job prospects at the same time.
That said, there’s no avoiding the fact that LinkedIn groups can have a downside: they can be spammy, and some groups are only very lightly monitored, if at all. This means joining a group could potentially have the opposite of the desired effect on your feed, making it even more cluttered than before.
But fear not! We’ve put together a list of the best LinkedIn groups to join for UX/UI professionals and prototypers, based on the advice and experience of the Justinmind team.
