SEEKING WORK remote or in Austin, TX
I'm Vitorio, a skilled user experience and interaction designer in Austin, TX.
I am currently available for research and design engagements, and also for ad-hoc design questions by the hour.
If you think your current site and onboarding flow and app design is okay and just want someone to make it prettier, make the logo pop, etc., that's not me.
If you want more users to sign up, users to stick around longer, users to pay more, heck, users to pay at all, that's me.
If you don't have a site or app yet and want to know what you need to know to make sure you don't have these common "let's just build it we'll figure it out later" teething problems, to have your app designed well from day 1, that's really me.  I love those kinds of engagements the most.  You'd be my favorite.
Ideally, we'll do a small research engagement together to figure out what you need, and then a proper, full design engagement.  But, every project is unique; contact me and let's talk: <a href="http://vitor.io/" >http://vitor.io/</a>
Not sure what you need?  Never hired a designer?  Just want to have a structured conversation by the half-hour or hour?  Consider signing up for UX office hours instead, there's no obligation:  <a href="http://uxhours.com/" >http://uxhours.com/</a>
Will also barter UX for art or development; front-end, Python, Node, or AWS (via Python or Node) are all of interest.
I've founded three startups myself so far, so I have some idea about what you're going through: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1214065#score_1214439" >http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1214065#score_1214439</a>
And, one startup has found me through HN, so that's something.
