Ask HN: Where can I find awesome web designers?

Hey guys, where does one find people who can make beautiful landing pages/home pages? Examples of such sites I am referring to include Wufoo and Basecamp. I love their design which is simple yet aesthetically pleasing.

Most of the times I am able to make usable interfaces/web design that work sort of ok. But I know that users view good design as directly propotional to the value they attach to the product they use.

So my question is: how do I go about finding great web designers? I have tried googling for agencies/freelancers, but didn't find one which had simple, usable Basecampish sites on their portfolios. Most of them had sites for hotels, charities, small time businesses, etc.
