Podder now has a visual designer

I am thrilled to announce that Grant Hinkson, visual designer extraordinaire, has agreed to create a new skin for Podder!  I have the utmost respect for Grant’s talents as a visual designer, his imaginative use of visual effects, and his expertise in WPF.  I can’t wait to see how good Podder will look once he is finished with it.

I thought it was a long shot when I asked Grant if he would be interested in working on my side project, because I know he is a very busy person, but he was just as excited as I am about working on Podder.  It is great working with passionate people!  I feel that the Podder project has now gone from being cool to phenomenally cool.

Here is a little background info on Grant, in case you are curious:

• Director of Visual Design at Infragistics
• Created the WPF tool called Pistachio
• Wrote part of the “Silverlight 1.0” book, published by Wrox
• Created the Fireworks to XAML Exporter
• Active in the Fireworks community
  • Articles on Adobe Devnet
  • Did Fireworks session at Adobe Max
• Fellow Bach fanatic

Thanks for agreeing to help make Podder, Grant.  I can’t wait to see what you come  up with!
