⭐ Rated 4.8/5 by members across Singapore, Sydney & beyond

​🚀 Real conversations with real people

​SameKind is a private community for experienced designers who are done with loud panels, pitch rooms, and surface-level networking.

​Twice a month, we host invite-only dinners for 6 curated designers to connect over real talk, shared lessons, and good food.

​This is 90 minutes with 5 relevant peers, not 5 minutes with 50 strangers.— Aishah, Sr. Designer @Zapier & SameKind Member

​🪄 What Makes the Table Special:

• ​Bring one real challenge or recent insight

• ​Ask honest questions, listen fully

• ​Speak from experience, not just opinion

• ​Be kind, curious, and open

​🍽 Recently at the Table:

• ​Sr. Designer @ Google

• ​Product Designer @ Shopify

• ​Head of UX @ OpenTable

• ​UXR Lead @ HubSpot

• ​Creative Director @ Zendesk
