We can expect excellent designs from the WordPress developers with the addition of Bryan Veloso to the Automattic team.
So, why? Well. WordPress. Akismet. bbPress. Etc. Do you blame me? This was an opportunity I could not miss, to take a pro-active position as a designer and developer of the only blogging software I would ever use.
Bryan was involved in the Shuttle Project (the WordPress admin-interface makeover plugin), and is behind the Flock homepage redesign and the Chaotic Soul WordPress theme, among others. Chaotic Soul is actually based on Avalonstar, which won the Best Blog Design award at SXSW this year.
The Automattic profile page says Bryan is their de-uglifier. Bring on the kick-ass designs, Bryan! The default WordPress admin interface is fine, but if you can come up with something better, then that would be great news to WP fans.

1Shuttle isn’t a plugin. It’s going to be intergrated into the default wordpress install.

2Don’t mind J. Angelo…he did not know better. You are right though Ben, Shuttle will be integrated into the default WordPress install, and as far as I know, that has always been the plan.
Good catch.
