Kevin Powell on Mobile Web and Responsive Design

Per Axbom

Nov 8, 2011

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon Kevin Powell‘s presentation on Slideshare, Why Mobile First isn’t Enough, and the accompanying video. I found his presentation and performance really intriguing and since Responsive Web Design is all the new rave, i.e. something I need to know about, I called him up for an interview.

The sound was a bit shady at times (The Nashville-Stockholm connection on Skype wasn’t to my liking) but I did some extensive editing of this interview and I think you will enjoy the result. Kevin is really articulate, passionate and good at explaining the concepts of designing mobile web sites. I expect him to be speaking at more conferences in the future. You know where you heard of him first
