About CCC

The UX community
Ghana needed

Most UX events feel like work. Chop Chat Connect feels like the conversation you couldn't stop having on the way home โ€” except with better food and people who actually get it.

๐Ÿฒ
No rigid agenda
Conversation-first. Topics flow naturally, then food comes out. That's the whole plan.
๐Ÿค
Inclusive space
Seasoned designers and first-timers, all in the same room, all welcome.
๐Ÿ’ก
Insight + connection
Meaningful UX conversations that lead to real professional relationships โ€” and sometimes, internships.

What we talk about

Real topics.
No fluff.

๐Ÿค–
AI & UX
How AI tools are changing the designer's job โ€” and what that means for your career right now.
๐Ÿ’ฅ
UX Failures & Fixes
Real mistakes, honest post-mortems, and the design decisions we'd all take back.
๐Ÿค
Stakeholder Management
How to work with โ€” not against โ€” the people who commission your work.
โšก
Design ร— Dev Handoffs
The handoff is a process, not a one-off. Figma files, specs, and the conversations that matter.
๐Ÿ’ผ
Portfolio to Paycheck
What recruiters look for, how to tell your UX story, and landing your first role in Ghana.
