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.

Would you like me to speak at your conference?

Please note, I try to keep speaking engagements at a maximum of 2-3 a year but always happy to chat! My usual speaking topics revolve around the intersection of UI Design and Code, as well as the beauty of Solopreneurship and how to empower one-person ventures.
