I like this idea, and we've been considering this from an "apprenticeship" perspective for jr/associate level designers, but this doesn't really work out for sr-level designers. They're looking for high pay and benefits, not a few months of uncertainty.
The market I'm in (Salt Lake City) is a really competitive design market right now, so designers aren't going to jump ship from their nice design job to possible have a career-ending three month experiment.
