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.”
Walk in using AI occasionally, unsure what's hype and what's useful. Walk out with a working AI-augmented design process — yours to keep, refine, and use Monday morning. In one day.
In this session, we will talks about design fundamentals. What is good design, Typography, Colors, Layout, Grids & Spacing, Design Principles & UX Laws.
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.
A design system starter kit, in Figma. Tokens, components, and the structure to actually scale them. Built from the systems we use ourselves.
Check resource
A working library of the references, tools, and patterns we keep coming back to. For designers building a system from scratch — or cleaning up the one they've inherited.
Check resource
Type anatomy, classification, and the practical decisions designers make every week. Short enough to read on a flight. Useful enough to come back to
Check resourceDirect work, when the brief calls for it. Coaching for solo designers, programs for in-house teams — both selective, both by conversation first.
For designers building a practice on their own — and wanting another pair of eyes on the work.
For in-house teams figuring out what AI changes in their work — and occasionally, for studio projects when the fit is right.
