it really depends.
understand that there are Interactive Agencies ala the likes of
Razorfish-Avenue A and RG/A that more or less "get it" and embrace IxD and

time is a huge factor for me as well. i have 2 week release cycles for a
product i'm working on and have to usually bang out a UI and spec for a

usually, i do a good job. however, if i had the luxury of time, stuff would
be even better.

background really comes in handy when
