Video: Cyd Stumpel – Modern CSS for Creative Developers

It was a great pleasure to have Cyd Stumpel being part of beyond tellerrand Düsseldorf 2025. Even more as she jumped in quite late when someone else sadly had to drop out. Cyd gave a lovely talk about the latest and modern animation possibilities of CSS. It was a presentation that certainly was more technical, but absolutely what the program needed to also cater the more techy people ;)

Excited to watch it? Here it is …

Modern CSS for Creative Developers

How can we craft delightful, fluid experiences using just CSS? What does the View Transitions API unlock for us? How can Scroll-Driven Animations change the way we think about storytelling and interactivity on the web? And how do these modern tools impact performance, accessibility, and user experience?

In this talk, we’ll explore the latest and most exciting CSS features that let creative developers push boundaries, without sacrificing maintainability or sanity. With practical examples, visual demos, and ideas you can take straight into your projects.
