A gathering for designers in Abuja figuring out how to stay sharp, stand out, and navigate the design field in the age of AI — together.
Show your interest →Every meetup has a different theme. Same energy: warm, peer-led, no-gatekeeping. AI is reshaping the field fast — the designers who thrive are the ones building real skills and real community. That's what happens here.
Good food, cold drinks, no awkward standing-around-with-water vibes. The table is the brief.
Tutorials, portfolio reviews, AI tool deep-dives, guest stories. Peer-led, ego-free. Navigate the shifting design landscape alongside people figuring it out too.
In a world of AI-generated everything, the designers who stand out are the ones with real relationships and distinct voices. The cliq grows in the room, not the algorithm.
AI won't replace designers.
But isolated designers won't stand a chance.
