Hi Wendy, This is a great question. I'm amazed it has sat for a day without a reply from anyone.
I have been looking for an industry design group for women ever since Women in Multimedia was around back in the 90's. From what I can tell, it sadly disappeared in early 2001. Having been the sole female designer at design studios in the past (where the only other women in the office were administrative staff), I understand why you might be interested in finding a women-specific design group. The closest thing to women in IxD-specific design that I know of are: http://owa-usa.org/ http://www.awidweb.com/ http://girlsgonegeek.tv/ http://shesgeeky.org/ http://www.blogher.com/ http://www.awidweb.com/pages/west.html - Bay Area group. Is anyone else aware of women's IxD or software design groups? And specifically in the Bay Area? I am fortunate enough to work for Adaptive Path, a company in the Bay Area where the staff is over 50% women!! The current design staff is equally divided men and women too. We have a wonderful work environment where gender is not an issue whatsoever. Maybe we can have you over for lunch sometime to give you the opportunity to hang with some amazing women (and men) in the industry? Email me directly at k_lenox AT mac dot com if you're interested. Also I am one of the co-chairs of IxDA-SF. We're always open to hearing ideas for future events in SF (are there women in the industry you want to hear speak?). Our latest event is Indi Young speaking about her upcoming book: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/417667 Good luck & please post again if you find a group that works for you. -Kim . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
