How this works

The whole card is a single display:grid with grid-template-columns:repeat(4,1fr), so the hero block claims grid-column:span 2 and grid-row:span 2 while thinner tiles fill the remaining cells. Each tile derives its background from one base hue via color-mix(in oklch, var(--base), ...), giving cohesive nested elevation without hand-picking a hex value per surface.

Depth comes from layered box-shadow stacks — a tight contact shadow plus a wide ambient one — and tiles lift on hover with transform:translateY(-4px), a compositor-only property. The card reflows on narrow parents because it opts into container-type:inline-size and collapses to two columns at a @container breakpoint rather than a viewport one.

Make it yours

  • Recolour the entire card by editing the single --base:oklch(0.62 0.2 275) token — every tile tint derives from it via color-mix().
  • Change grid density by editing grid-template-columns and each tile's grid-column/grid-row span.
  • Swap the avatar's spinning ring by editing the conic-gradient stops on .pc-01__avatar::before.
  • Tune hover lift with the translateY(-4px) value on .pc-01__tile:hover.
  • Enable a per-tile hover-highlight by adding :hover background shifts on individual tiles.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • container-type:inline-size establishes a containment context, so any position:fixed descendant resolves against the card, not the viewport.
  • color-mix() and oklch() need Chrome 111+/Safari 16.2+; older engines drop the tile tints and show the base surface colour.
  • Bento tiles with uneven content can misalign — grid-auto-rows plus a tile min-height keeps rows even.
