We talk with Sergio Nouvel—co-founder of Continuum in Lima, Peru—author of our very popular and very controversial article, “Why Web Design is Dead.”

Just yesterday I had the chance to talk with Sergio Nouvel, author of the very popular and very convtroversial UX Mag article, “Why Web Design is Dead.”

Sergio is was born in Chile and is the Co-Founder and Director of Continuum in Lima, Peru. He comes from a graphic design background and has broadened his scope of what it means to be a designer in the digital age. Here we talk about the limitations of designing for desktop, the rise of mobile, the disappearance of screens, and why web design is (or isn’t) dying. (MP3)
