Hi Daniel!
My name is Luciano. I arrived to your blog by chance (I was installing a RSS reader). I’m not a UI designer (I’m a content designer) but 2 years ago I founded a web studio with a partner here in Buenos Aires (Argentina). As an almost indivudual enterpreneur I understood exactly what you mean by wearing a different hat almost every moment.

After reading your post, I tought that telling you about our studio would be a good idea. Our studio (Grupa) is small, but very specific. My partner, Bernarda has more than 8 years of webdesign experience focalized in usability and web standards (CSS). Nowadays we’re trying to make the most of our skills and looking for oportunities must be an openminded job.

Maybe it’s not exactly what you were looking for (If you were looking for a single person) but regarding the skills and talking about a personal level I don´t have doubts that we are very close.

In our website, you’ll see some of our works but we have many more examples and details about our methodologies if you need them.

Please be free to make us any concerns or inquiries.
Be well.
Luciano

I don’t see how this job description is supposed to fit Obama, I think he is just looking for a graphic designer?

Let me preface this- because otherwise I know I’ll trigger your prejudice and you’ll assume I’m a McCain supporter. I’m not. I’m not going to vote for McCain. I’m not a republican.

Ok, since you’ve been so blatantly public about your infatuation with Obama on twitter, and twitter is a one way street, I’m forced to respond to you here.

[EDITED BY Daniel Jalkut: This was a long, political rant in response to my expressed opinions on Twitter. I disagree that the author, who goes by "Joe" and includes a fake email address involving plumbing, was "forced" to response here. It may please him or her to know that I read the rant and have processed it before deleting it from the page.

If anybody else has responses to my political views which they find uncontainable, I'm sure you can figure out how to email me directly, or find another way to express yourself. Just locating a fresh post on my company blog and defacing it with a long, anonymous rant is not the appropriate way to respond.]

Way to go, Daniel!

As I wrote you once, I hired a graphic/UI designer to work on version 3 of ImageFramer, and it’s been productive 4 months.

Having someone with professional graphics skills is a real plus to a microISV and I’m sure you’ll benefit a lot, provided you find a suitable person for the job.

Best luck,
Jacob.
