What you have:

- backend engineering skill

- experience using Tailwind

- a color palette and font choices

- screens and user flows

It sounds like all you're missing is:

- UI polish

Depending on how detailed your screens are, maybe you could consider skipping the UI mockup step, and just try to build it yourself using the 'Application UI' components from TailwindUI (https://tailwindui.com/)? If you use your own color palette and fonts, your site will still look unique.

Sure, you might need to change some things later, but you'd save some time and stress searching for a designer.

Yes, I do have a Tailwind UI license and I'm regularly using it for some projects. However, when I start on a new one, I like having the design in place before I do any coding. It's just simpler when you have a UI mock that you just implement, instead of spending time to think about how everything should be placed, how interactions should work and so on. I might actually get back to this approach though, if I can't find anyone in reasonable time. Thanks!
