Description
An ideal candidate in my opinion is someone who has experience in designing enterprise web applications, thick applications or mobile applications. There's a lot more than colors and illustration involved in web application design (as opposed to web design) such as HCI (Human Computer Interaction), Information Architecture, Usability, Affordance, Effective Design Patterns, Workflows and some level of engineering experience. Soft skills such as excellent presentation skills and consulting experience is a big plus.
