The Generate CSS speaker explains why Grid is the future and how you can get on board right now

CSS Grid is quite simply the biggest story in web design right now.

Giving developers the tools to build complex layouts with relatively little code, it represents a revolutionary step forward in providing control over layout behaviour, in a responsive world.

There is, of course, a learning curve involved. Which is why we had to have Michelle Barker as one of the key speakers at our forthcoming Generate CSS conference (on 26 September in Shoreditch, London).

A Mozilla Tech Speaker, author of the CSS {In Real Life} blog and passionate advocate for CSS Grid, Barker’s talk will identify the most common issues designers face in adopting it and how to overcome them.

Read on, as she reveals how she fell in love with CSS, discusses her work at Mud and Ordoo and shares her predictions for how web design will evolve in the 2020s.

Could you briefly introduce yourself to anyone who doesn’t know you?

I’m a creative front-end developer with strong UX leanings and a background in design and illustration that informs much of the work I do. For my day job I’m a front-end developer at Ordoo, a mobile ordering startup.

My main passion is CSS and I love experimenting and writing articles for my blog, CSS {In Real Life}. I’ve always loved writing and my blog gives me the better at managing my time, separating work and home life and knowing what I can feasibly take on.

How did that move over to web development happen?
