A friend of mine at one of Wisconsin's coolest companies, Red Fusion Studios, is looking for a User Experience Designer. See http://www.milwaukeejobs.com/jobs.asp?pagemode=15&jid=2107614. The project they have is in the lower Fox Valley, so while the company is further south, they likely wouldn't have to relocate for a while, if ever. Eventually, they may want the person in Madison or Port Washington. But at the rate Red Fusion is growing, they could easily open a 3rd studio in the Fox Valley. That would be cool!

Here's some info from the posting:

Red Fusion Studios is seeking an experienced interactive designer. We need someone who is equal parts strategist, architect and art director. This individual will be responsible for coordinating with the internal team to solve a complex but exciting user interface problem. We need someone with talent and skills in both graphic design and user experience design. That is, someone who can design the structure and experience of an interface and then apply an aesthetic layer over that structure. Moreover, we need this person to play a mediation role between the various client stakeholders, help align their internal priorities to actual user needs, so great communication skills are a must.

Requirements:

* BA/BS in Graphic Design, Information Architecture, User Experience, or portfolio demonstrating equivalent expertise
* 6+ years professional experience creating interfaces
* Application UI design experience preferred
* Information architecture experience preferred
* User Experience design experience preferred
* Expert skills in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop a given
* Excellent communication skills a must
* Must be self-managing and able to deliver quality result, every time, on time
