This week we sat down with Aaron to get his take on the world of Responsive Design. Here’s what he had to say:<\/em><\/p>\n

Rosenfeld Media: <\/strong>You’ve had a lot of varied experience in the field of responsive design. If you could go back in time to give the younger you some advice on the topic, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aaron Gustafson:<\/strong> Be adaptable, but keep your eye on the big picture.
\n
\nThings change so frequently in this industry that you can spend all of
\nyour time trying to keep up with the latest techniques. It can be so
\noverwhelming at times that it becomes tempting to tune out and take an
\n“if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” approach. Balance is important. We
\nneed to be flexible enough to allow ourselves room to change our
\napproach as we learn more about our medium while at the same time
\nviewing the latest techniques through a critical lens that takes into
\naccount the true effect the adoption of a given approach, methodology, or
\ntechnique will have on the end product and how our customers
\nexperience it.<\/p>\n

RM:<\/strong> What are a few things that all UXers need to know about this topic?<\/p>\n

<\/strong>
\nAG<\/strong>: It’s important to realize that everything we do is connected. Whether
\nwe are devising a business strategy, writing copy, designing
\nwireframes and interfaces, or authoring code, each decision, line, and
\nkeystroke we make has a profound effect on the experience of using our
\nproducts.<\/p>\n

RM:<\/strong> Thanks, Aaron!<\/strong><\/p>\n
