Simone was so kind to invite me to write about the interaction designers in Hamburg. Good timing, because both projektwerk creative and IxDA Hamburg were launched in May this year. Here is our announcement:

IxDA Hamburg is the local chapter of the Interaction Design Association, a member-supported organization, intending to improve the human condition by advancing the discipline of interaction design.

As part of the global IxDA community, IxDA Hamburg is fostering mutual exchange amongst designers and continuing advancement of the field of interaction design in Hamburg.

With its vibrant user experience and design community and many talented professionals and students, Hamburg offers an inspirational environment to exchange thoughts & ideas, share experiences and connect. Close collaboration with local UX groups such as the well established User Experience Roundtable and the UX Bookclub play a big part in broaden the current and building an even more versatile IxDA community in Hamburg.We hope to hear from you!
