So, I'm a pretty good backend engineer but I have a horrible sense of beauty. Everything I design becomes ugly and that has hurt my previous side projects. How do you go on to find a front end engineer to partner with for your ideas?
It sounds like you are either looking for a front end designer, or a front end engineer who happens to also be a front end designer. The designer role itself also gets split up into different parts like graphic designer, UX designer, etc. but sometimes multiple hats are worn, of course.<p>In the meantime, before finding one of these people, you could read up on a few very basic design principles and apply those. Or find some canned design templates to use.
