even finished websites that are here for years, with horrible designs. ... Are there bitcointalkers with projects that need or want help?
any past design jobs you can show us?
Yup. I know I suck at graphical design and so does everybody else around me. That's why in my real-life job no one let's me near doing gfx-design things.
OTOH, normally (in my real-life job), people who apply as frontend-beautifiers bring along some portfolio to demonstrate what they think not being "horrible designs".
@OP: You might want to point everyone interested to your portfolio.
