What is the UX Challenge?
The UX Design Challenge is a 6-week intensive program where participants work in teams to solve real-world design problems for actual clients. It’s an opportunity to enhance your design skills, collaborate with skilled peers, and produce portfolio-worthy work.
Who can participate in this program?
The UX challenge is open to designers of all experience levels. There are two participation tiers: - Client Facing participant: Who engage directly with clients, has a higher price rate, and constant feedback from business owners or stakeholders.
- Exploring Participants: Who work on the same challenges but without direct client interaction
What are the time commitments?
The UX Challenge requires a time commitment similar to a part-time job, with an expectation of 10 to 20 hours of effort per week. This ensures you can give your best to the project, support your team effectively, and deliver outstanding results to showcase at the end.

I recently joined the community to have a better point of view on User Interface and User Experience. As a junior Designer, I wanted to upgrade my skills in Design Procedures, to have a better understanding of User Experience and User Interface which will help me enhance my skills and help me to have a Permanent Career.

Within my first week, I found an awesome group of people that worked together to create and complete our own case study to user on our portfolios. I knew none of them before joining and now feel so comfortable working with them. I'm part of a few other UX groups, but none of them have helped me feel like I belong and can reach out for help like IterateUX does.

The precious and professional communication from every without reservation is constructive. The event weekly with different topics are also very helpful, especially for a beginner.
