All levels

Gabriela Lucía Nesheim

Gabriela Lucía (or "Lela") is a UX Designer with a strong belief in the power of community, collaboration, curiosity, and accessibility. With these values in mind, Gabriela is always looking for opportunities to bring people from all walks of life and experience levels together to connect and discuss the things they're passionate about.✨

Gabriela is currently a Teaching Assistant/Instructor for Hack the Gap's UX and Digital Marketing 2025 cohort, as well as a freelance UX and Digital Designer. But in their free time, you can find them writing stories, playing Dungeons & Dragons, watching campy horror movies, hanging out with sloths at the zoo, and singing in their band (or to their cats😻).

EJ Makela

EJ is a career-switcher, trying to land his first paid gig in the area of experience design (service design, UX, IxD, etc.).

With a long background in customer service, education, and IT-oriented roles, EJ also spends a lot of his time engaging in community-building and other volunteer work. He nerds-out on anything related to design or process. Currently, he's a local leader for the Interaction Design Foundation (IxDF) and the webinar coordinator for UXPA International.

At Minnebar 18 (2024), EJ was shocked when 30+ folks attended a humble UX meetup that he had organized. He also volunteered at the all-day UX Office Hours session, and he's doing it again for 2025. Stop by if you want to talk about your tech project or idea!

His nickname is "Johnny," and he usually finds it odd to speak in the third person.
