The craft of design.
Made and taught, in the age of AI.

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.

Coming up this month

Your AI Framework. Built in one session

FREE WEBINAR

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.

Design System + AI

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.
