Hi, I'm Maxime 👋
I've been designing and building for the web since the late 2000s — through Flash, through skeuomorphism, through flat design, through the Material era, through the design systems boom, and now through whatever this AI moment turns into.
I came up as a designer who codes, which back then was unusual and now is just useful. That's shaped how I work and how I teach: not as a designer who hands off to engineers, but as someone who understands what happens on both sides of the line.
House of Maestro is what I built when I realized the thing I wanted to spend the next decade doing was teaching this craft to other designers — without losing my hands-on practice in the process.
