Are you a designer looking for collaboration opportunities?

I've worked solo on projects for a long time now, collaborating with others only once or twice. I have reached the point where I can fully accept that my main skills lie more strongly on the development side of the webmosphere - I think I just invented that word, but I'm gonna roll with it :-)

I recently reached out locally for other web devs and designers with a view to building a small group of freelancers that could share in their geeky ways, helping each other out from time to time, and maybe actually collaborate on projects in the future - as well as drinking coffee. My local area doesn't really lend itself to forming that kind of group based on a small population, so I figured where better to look than where I do all my learning and skill updating - Treehouse!

Myself and another developer that I did manage to hook up with nearby (non-Treehouser) are VERY keen to try and tie up with a designer or two with a view to working on projects together. This isn't for any one specific project that has been taken on already, it's more to allow some flexibility looking forward and to meet and chat with like minded creatives. That being said, we do have ideas for a site/service or two that would only be possible with the additional input and enthusiasm by a person or people in a similar situation or with a similar mind set to us!

We are both experienced developers with a healthy mixture of frontend skills, WordPress and PHP. Both are based in neigbouring small towns in the North of Scotland, but we totally accept that the right people could be anywhere.

If your into designing websites and apps and might be interested in exploring any opportunities something like this might present, I would love to hear from you!
