One of our clients is seeking that powerful mix of design guru who just also happens to be able to write some mean code. We’re willing to go with someone light on backend programming skills as long as they more than make up for it with impressive UX design chops. We are constantly building web-centric data driven applications that require a solid understanding of information and feature management. The ideal candidate would be excellent at creating simple intuitive interfaces for rich-client web apps; designing for mental models, not implementation models; doing this all very quickly and iteratively of course.
