I was thinking this would be a post about how some startup was facing terrible obstacles. If the only problem is that you can't find someone with design ability, the answer is easy: try harder. They're all over, especially at colleges.

Incidentally, as other posters have pointed out, you may be in danger of confusing graphic design with UI design. They overlap but they're not identical.

Mistaking UI/UX design for graphic design is very highly correlated with not paying enough attention to user experience. I'm amazed to still meet developers who talk about getting a designer to skin the app after they do more development. That's entirely backwards.

The great news is that you don't need to know photoshop to do UX design. Thinking harder about the tasks for a user's perspective is most of the process.
