Challenge: White space below the ".main-nav" element?

Hello:

I completed the code challenge, but there is something I can't fix.

For a strange reason, there is a white space below my ".main-nav" element, it looks a little bit upper than ".name" element.

You can see my media query, below.

I saw Guil's solution and both elements are perfectly aligned, How Guil's achieve that? I couldn't figure out.

Thanks

@media (min-width: 769px) {
  .name {
    float:left;
  }

 .main-nav {
  float: right;
}

.main-nav li {
  display:inline-block;
  margin-left: 1.5em;
}

.container {
  width: 85%;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

.wrapper {
  width: 80%;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

.col {
  margin: 1em 2.3%;
  vertical-align: top;
}

.secondary {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 35%;
  }

.primary { 
    display: inline-block;
    width: 55%;
 }


}```

by default it might have padding.

I use the "normilize.css" to reset the CSS. The padding for ul, is zero. Any other possible reason?

ol, 
 ul {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
} ```

use google chrome and select element where the space is using developer tools
