Breaking Barriers: Understanding Layout Between UI Design and Code
Conference Talk May 2026
Designers and Devs often clash over grids and layouts due to different mental models. In this technical talk, we’ll explore CSS Grid, Flexbox, Container Queries, Figma, and Penpot—not to perfect handoffs, but to understand each other’s tools and limitations, fostering better collaboration to bring designs to life.

The Invisible Divide
Conference Talk April 2026
Designers and developers often see layout differently, leading to misalignment. This talk bridges that gap by exploring layout concepts in both code (CSS Grid, Flexbox, Container Queries) and UI design tools like Figma, aiming for better collaboration, not perfect handoffs.
