Good Designers Are Hard To Find, Are You a Good Designer?

Yesterday was a very busy day. For the better part of it, I was confused. We’ve been quickly and quietly developing the underlying architecture for our system and putting code in place to suit it. One thing we didn’t really anticipate was that the design we were using wasn’t what we wanted.

The Secret Project is actually made up of a few different projects. When we started, we completed the design for the first part. We’re now looking at parts 3-6 and guess what, it’s like assembling IKEA furniture - there’s too many parts that look the same but don’t quite fit. In our case, it’s like the furniture that arrives with one random extra piece plus one important missing piece.

Long story short, I set out today to initiate conversations with the various designers I know of that would be right for the job. As usual, they are all quite professional and I’ve heard back from most of them quickly - some I just IMed. What surprises (well not really) is that they are ALL BOOKED. And when I say booked, I mean “Call me in January” kinda booked.

So, in short, we’re still looking for a web designer to join our team - soon! Are you a super-talented web designer? What’s your project timeline look like now?
