Dallas Black UX: Future-Proofing Your Career + Networking Event

“Future-Proofing Your Career with a Consultant Mindset” with Denise Andrews, UXC

The career playbook has changed. In a time of restructures and rapid shifts, stability comes from thinking like a consultant, even if you’re a full-time employee. Join Dallas Black UX on April 9 for an event that will help you reframe your career as “You, Inc.” Seasoned UX and product strategist Denise Andrews will show us how to move beyond identifying only as an employee and instead operate like a business of one, bringing strategic value, clarity, and measurable impact in your work.

This will be our first in-person event of 2026! We’d love to see you again or meet you for the first time. There will be time to network with like-minded professionals and grab a bit to eat if you choose. Bring colleagues and friends and help us celebrate 7 years of DBUX!
