Adaptive Design Done Right
Screens come in every imaginable shape. This program teaches you to build interfaces that respond, reflow, and hold together — no matter what device picks them up.

What you will work through
Adaptive design is less about memorising breakpoints and more about understanding how layout decisions compound as viewport conditions change. You start with fluid grids — not fixed columns — and from the first module you write CSS that negotiates space rather than demands it.
Later modules go deeper: container queries for component-level context, logical properties for internationalisation, and viewport units that behave predictably across mobile Safari, Chrome on Android, and desktop environments. Each topic is anchored to a real-world scenario, not a toy example.
Assignments are structured around critique: you submit a layout, receive written feedback, revise it. The cycle mirrors professional practice and forces you to see your own blind spots before they ship.
What the program covers
Layout foundations
How Flexbox and Grid compose together when screen width is unknown. Building structures that negotiate space instead of breaking it.
Context and components
Container queries in practice. Designing self-contained components that adapt to their parent — not just the viewport edge.
Real environments
Testing on actual devices, handling browser inconsistencies, and performance considerations for slower mobile connections.
Two practitioners, one focused program
Daryna has spent years debugging layout issues across production apps — the kind of edge cases that only surface when real users show up on unexpected devices. She wrote significant parts of the curriculum from those experiences.
Oksana Yaremenko handles the second half of the program, covering accessibility and cross-device testing. Her background is in interface QA, and she is particularly sharp on the gap between "looks fine on my laptop" and "works for everyone."
Neither of them lectures at you for an hour without you touching code. Sessions alternate between explanation and hands-on work — you will have something to show by the end of each module.
