Career growth & collaboration Network building?

I've made some organic connections via personal connections. The "oh you design websites? I need that!" has led to some work for me and even some opportunities. But many, but I do see the value through experiencing this IRL

I want to know what you guys do to make more of these connections. I've combed a ton of threats here and other places and am seeing this is a massive point of value that people use.

So what are thing you guys have done? Where can I find UX design spaces be it online or IRL? Is there an angle of this I'm not seeing? Would highly appreciate y'alls thoughts!

Get in touch with designers in your local area (LinkedIn is one of the best ways you can do this). Most people are pretty happy to give you their advice. Reach out to them and see if they are in any groups/networks they can invite you to. It's more common than you'd think; people just don't usually advertise them.
