 I've now viewed this! And while I don't understand why this discussion was
 instigated without me or is happening on a ticket, I agree with you,
 yawning.

 I agree in the sense that 1) yes, we need one 2) such a person would be
 complementary to my role and 3) I agree so much that I've been trying to
 hire someone for that role.

 1-2) UX is broad, but within that field, I consider myself an interface
 designer and interaction designer. This means that I would like to talk
 about how information is laid out, abstracted, and communicated. I design
 what to put where, what the interactions should be, and what components to
 use.

 A graphic designer would help me build assets to use in the interface
 (i.e. I would design how a website is laid out, but I don't make the
 pictures, indicators, icons, or choose the colors, fonts or spacing).
 This is not my area of expertise, nor do I plan it to be my area of
 expertise. I want to be a better interaction designer, interface designer,
 and continue to do some front-end coding. I don't see myself being a good
 graphic designer--and I have no formal training in it either. This doesn't
 mean that I'm bad at doing my job; it's just that these are two jobs and I
 got hired for one of them.

 3) If the SIDA proposal goes through, we plan to hire a graphic designer
 for the next year. I would love for this to also be a permanent position,
 because there is a lot of work that they could do, and I would always need
 access to one. But that's what we have right now.
