Intern

I’m looking for a young web designer. This is for paid contract work. The position will be to help design and implement the front-ends for a number of web properties including DavidCrow.ca, DemoCamp.com, FoundersandFunders.org, StartupNorth.ca, StartupIndex.ca, StartupIndex.ca, etc. Basically, the majority of the work is visual design and front-end web implementation. The goal is to to help design and build visual presence and update the front-end implementation of these sites. (Yes, I’ve started to look at HayStack and 99designs.com and other sites).

The designer needs to have an online portfolio. The portfolio should include examples of both web and mobile-optimized design.
Experience creating, maintaining and deploying WordPress/Drupal/Moveable Type/etc. themes.
Experience with web standards compliant HTML, xhtml, css, and Javascript implementation (preferably Prototype or JQuery).
Experience with skinning/theming hosted online applications, e.g., EventBrite, GuestListApp, MindTouch, etc.
Experience implementing front-end code in MVC frameworks, e.g., Django, Rails, ASP.NET MVC, CakePHP, etc.

My preference would be to find a student or recent graduate. I’d like to help find the next Scott Boms, Ryan Feeley, Matt Brett, Dave Shea, Daniel Burka (yep, they’re all Canadian).

So if you’re a young Canadian designer, that is looking for some contract work, fill out the form below.

Greatest Design Intern in the World

This is paid contract work, however, it's not necessarily well paid. Ideally this is an opportunity for a junior designer, that is, someone that is looking to grow their skills by working on real world projects.
