Interaction Designers in Indianapolis?

Hello!

I'm investigating interaction design as a new career path, and I'd like to
meet with someone who is already doing it professionally. Is anyone out
there in the Indianapolis area?

Thanks!

Experiences with Incorporation for Contract Corp to Corp "Interaction Design" work

I am curious of others experience with Incorporation for Interaction Design
consulting work. This incorporation would be for a small company, involving
one or two consultants working for in the incorporated company, which would
be contracted by other companies.

Usable framework

If I were to create a new web application [it's for a friend, really ;) ] for "typical business purposes," is there anything out there that represents itself as a boilerplate from which to work, rather than starting with blank HTML pages?

By typical business purposes, I'm implying that it has the following types of things to deal with: Data records, rows, columns, fields, search, saved queries, security, permission levels, groups, users, system and user options, login, tabbed displays, secondary dialogs/windows, table sorting, tree-wise display of data, CSS styles (skins?), etc.
