Agentic AI asks more of us, not less. Machines only build from what we hand them, so what we hand them has to come from real design work. The craft is holding two things at once: the messy creative work that makes anything worth distilling, and the distillation itself. Knowing what to keep, where Figma has gaps, what CSS holds up, what to hand to code, where to let go, and where to babysit.

Christine shows how designers and developers build this pipeline together, with a lot of love for the work and a quiet refusal to let any process dumb down the beauty of CSS.

Designers and developers often approach layout with different mental models, especially around grids, spacing, and responsiveness. That disconnect leads to friction and broken expectations.

In this talk, we look at layout from both sides: CSS Grid, Flexbox, and Container Queries from the code side, and Figma and Penpot from the design side. This is not about handoff perfection, but about building shared understanding and better outcomes through clearer collaboration.

You don't need to be a developer to build real products with AI anymore. Side projects, internal tools, things that make your workflow better, even a team of AI agents that works the way you think. The gap between an idea and a shipped product has genuinely closed for anyone.

The space is fast and confusing and Christine cuts right through it. A grounded map of the current landscape, the tools that actually matter, and hands-on examples to get you started properly. Not to replace what you do, but to make it go further.
