Four ways to learn the craft of design — from a free Tuesday evening to working with us directly. Pick the one that fits the week you're having.
Four ways to learn here. Pick the one that fits the week you're having.
One hour, one topic. Live, Berlin time — a working session more than a lecture. We pick a question we're sitting with, think it through together, and leave with something useful. Free to attend. Replays go to subscribers.
Self-paced programs you keep for life. Each one is a long answer to a question that takes more than an hour — design systems from scratch, AI workflows that hold up, the typography you wish someone had taught you. Structured modules, working files, the kind of brief that makes you actually finish.
4 hours to a a full day, mostly in person, in a small room in Berlin — with a remote option for cohorts that need it. We work through real briefs together, ship something by the end of the day, and tend to keep talking long after the workshop closes. The kind of rooms designers come back to.
Direct work, with me. For solo designers building a practice on their own — coaching, portfolio reviews, AI workflow setup. For in-house teams figuring out what AI changes in their work — embedded programs, custom workshops, design system audits. Both selective.
The journey of a solo millennial designer through the discovery of AI - and the rediscovery of craft.
It's a FREE six-session learn-in-public series that ties strong design fundamentals directly to AI-assisted workflows. One journey, six honest sessions.
AI isn't coming for design — it's already here, and most designers are using it badly or not at all. The risk isn't being replaced; it's slowly losing the taste, judgment, and fundamentals that make design worth paying for, while colleagues who learned to work with AI pull ahead. This hour is for designers who want to start, properly. Not a hype tour, not a doom lecture — a working session on how.
A half-day workshop in Berlin for freelancers and solo studios who want to bring AI into the work — without losing the work.
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.
How to set up CORE — our design system starter kit — in under an hour.
Across every format — fundamentals first, AI second, shipping always.
Typography, color, hierarchy, systems. The leverage point for everything else.
Figma MCP, Claude, agentic tools. Used with judgment, not as replacement.
Webflow, design-dev handoff, real outcomes — not just pretty screens.
“It was great, the theoretical intro was very important for me, as well as the workshop part with hands on project. I was able to follow most of the course even though my knowledge of Figma was basic - Maxime was very helpful. I attended some other workshops in recent months and this one was very well prepared. I'll be on a lookout for more workshops like these. thanks!”

“I really like it! Learning about documentation and how designers work with the design systems, was incredibly usefull for me. I am trying to absorb all knowledge possible to make me a better designer/candidate to my future job. Thank you for helping us with this kind of tools. Now I am waiting for the next one :)”
