In Search of a User Experience Design Expert 

by Maxim Porges @ 11:17 AM | Link | Feedback (0)

I just posted this to the groups I am associated with on LinkedIn, and wanted to put it here to get the word out further. Please forward this to anybody you know who may be interested - remote resources are welcomed.

Highwinds is in search of an independent contract resource to assist with user interface/user experience development for a next-generation Rich Internet Application.

We're presently working off internally-developed wireframes, and are building the application's functional elements. The resource we're looking for will be responsible for developing look and feel, illustrating custom iconography and branding, making recommendations for transitions/visual cues, and developing a color palette.

Please note that a traditional web design background on its own will not be sufficient for this opportunity. The ideal candidate will have experience developing modern web/desktop-based software applications and will be familiar with Rich Internet Application technologies and cutting-edge user experience work in this space.

We expect that there will be a higher volume of work up front, followed by smaller engagements throughout the project as additional modules are developed. If you are interested, or know somebody who might be, I can be contacted at maxim.porges@highwinds.com. We will be making a selection largely based upon portfolio, so please submit a copy of user interface development work that you have done or a link to a portfolio on the web.
