Reach for the items-baseline utility to line items up along the container's cross axis so that every baseline sits together:

<div class="grid grid-cols-[1fr_auto] items-baseline-last"> <div> <img src="img/spencer-sharp.jpg" /> <h4>Spencer Sharp</h4> <p>Working on the future of astronaut recruitment at Space Recruit.</p> </div> <p>spacerecruit.com</p></div>This comes in handy when you want text items to line up neatly with one another, even when their heights differ.
Responsive design
Prefix any align-items utility with a breakpoint variant such as md: so it kicks in only at medium screen sizes and larger:
<div class="flex items-stretch md:items-center ..."> <!-- ... --></div>Read up on how variants work over in the variants documentation.
