I had the pleasure of meeting Arina Thorén in Stockholm Sweden just a week ago, so it’s fantastic she was able to make it over to Chicago for An Event Apart. Here’s her notes from my talk on atomic design.

Here’s Luke Wroblewski’s notes on my talk at An Event Apart in Chicago.

I wrote a cover story for Net Magazine rounding up 25 useful responsive design tools. It was a difficult task to round so many up since I typically shy away from using a whole slew of frameworks, gizmos, and what-have-yous, […]

I answered some questions about responsive web design, and so 5 other great folks: Aaron Gustafson, Ben Callahan, Dan Mall, Dave Rupert. I personally think it’s really interesting to see what everybody has to say about frameworks.

The kind folks at Code Computerlove gave a nice summary of my workshop in London. I’m glad they got something out of my workshop; it’s certainly a good motivator for me to keep preaching the good word.

Liz Andrade and Niki Brown spent some time discussing my Death To Bullshit Creative Mornings talk on their Pagebreak podcast. It’s cool to see how others interpret these concepts.

A look at atomic design that also gives a hypothetical example of it in action. I really like the idea of “Nobel Gases,” which he explains: I’d argue that there are a few “Nobel gases” if you will, which are […]

I had the pleasure of visiting Smashing Magazine‘s offices last week to give a workshop and also speak at a meetup. They sat me down for an interview before everything got started, and I had a wonderful time talking about […]
