There's no denying that a designer's role is changing. Responsive Design has made the whole process much more complex. Designers are now expected to be equal parts artist and coder, and to use HTML, CSS & Javascript as their palette. I've met that challenge, and I've spent the last year as a coding designer at Lullabot working on several large, responsive Drupal sites. This talk will include a candid, real-world look at Lullabot's evolving design process, as well as lessons from my own personal journey as a designer.

A thorough walkthrough of responsive design deliverables: Content Strategy, HTML Wireframes, Style Tiles, & Style Mocks. Examples will be shown.
Managing the expectations of Clients, Users and Developers
Keeping the focus on User Experience
Real world successes and failures
Creating a better iterative process
Bridging the gap between design and front-end development
