House of Maestro is a studio and an academy in Berlin. It's where we teach what we've learned about design — and where we keep figuring out what AI changes about the work.

Four ways to learn here. Pick the one that fits the week you're having.
Live, sixty minutes, every month. A new topic each time. Replays go to subscribers within a day.
Self-paced programs you keep. Lifetime access, structured modules, and the kind of brief that makes you finish them.
One to two days online or in person, in Berlin. Small cohorts, real work shipped by the end, and a room you'll want to come back to.
Direct work, with me. Coaching for solo designers finding their way through AI, and small programs for in-house teams doing the same.
“Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
Most designers using AI are improvising. The tools moved fast — the method didn't follow. This session is built from research with 100+ designers who said the same thing: they use AI regularly, but without a clear framework. This hour fixes that.
Most designers know AI can help with design systems. Few know how to set it up properly. This session shows the exact workflow: connecting Figma to Claude via MCP, using skills to train AI on your tokens and components, running a real library audit, and generating new pages with Claude Design.
Weekly notes on design, AI, and the craft of doing both well. Written from a working practice, not a content calendar.
Files, kits, and small books we've made along the way. Bought once, yours for good.
This short guide reveals the invisible rules underneath: hierarchy, color, type, and composition, distilled into the essentials.

Design theory is not about rules. It's about understanding why things work — so you can make better decisions, faster.
