Topics

My typical speaking topics revolve around the intersection of UI design (with Figma) and CSS, as well as more personalized talks, for example, about why I consciously choose to keep operating as a one-person company and the beauty of learning as an adult. My current talks are:

Build and Grow Your Own Digital Products—As a Company of One

In the startup world, we’re often told the same story: get funding, grow fast, and aim for the big exit. But my journey thrived only when I let go of that pressure. Instead of chasing rapid growth, I chose to stay small, focusing on organic growth and profitability from day one. And in doing so, I found something unexpected—a genuine joy in the daily building process.

With today’s technology, automation, and AI, thriving as a solopreneur is not only possible—it’s a smart, financially sound choice. In this talk, I’ll share how embracing intentional, sustainable growth can lead to a more fulfilling and successful way of building digital products. Get a little preview here (however note, that its never tehe same talk, I always adjust for the audience and place) 

Breaking Barriers: Understanding Layout Between UI Design and Code

Designers and developers often have different mental models when discussing layout, especially grids, which leads to misunderstandings in collaboration. Join me on a journey through layout techniques, from CSS Grid, Flexbox, and Container Queries to Figma and Penpot. This talk does not focus on the perfect handoff but rather on understanding each other’s tools and their limitations to find common ground for conversation and collaboration, ultimately bringing designs to life as a team. This is a technical talk. 

Design Beyond Breakpoints: Container Queries for UI Designers

(currently not available)

In recent years, we've witnessed remarkable CSS advancements with the potential to revolutionize web design. These developments will fundamentally change our perception of the classic browser layout, surpassing the standard breakpoint approach. Join me as we explore how to leverage these new possibilities in Figma. This is a technical talk.
