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.
AI is changing the meaning of a prototype. Designers can now test not only what a product looks like, but increasingly how it actually behaves. The opportunity isn't to turn designers into engineers. It's to reduce the distance between an idea and something real enough to test.
For designers who want structure, confidence, and a better way to work with AI.

Three ways to learn here. Start free, go deeper when work asks for it.
Live, sixty minutes, every month. A new topic each time. Replays go to subscribers within a day.
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.
We help brands and teams turn ambitious work into clear, considered design.
Build a distinctive visual foundation - a logo, colour, type, and direction that makes your brand feel unmistakably yours.
Create a digital home that does the work: landing pages, websites, and Webflow builds designed to look sharp and move people to act.
Bring order to growing products with foundations, components, and documentation that help design and development move as one.
A minimal, structured Figma file built so that AI tools — Cursor, Codex, Claude, Figma AI — can actually read and use it. This one is opinionated about naming, tokens, components and documentation in a way that makes AI-assisted development frictionless.
