I don't have much of a professional network in the Bay Area (new here!) and i'm looking for a top notch freelance UI/UX web designer. I'm not really interested in the elance/guru type websites. I'd love suggestions on where they converge online or any specific individuals to contact?
Try <a href="http://dribbble.com" rel="nofollow">http://dribbble.com</a> for pure design (no real interaction with users though) and <a href="http://forrst.com" rel="nofollow">http://forrst.com</a> to actually find someone for the role.
Here I am.<p><a href="http://www.chrisnorstrom.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.chrisnorstrom.com</a><p>lol, just kidding. I don't think I'm ready yet, but do take a look around.
