Pixel & Prompt - Session 01
Welcome to Pixel & Prompt
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.
The designers who thrive with AI are not the ones who adopt it fastest. They're the ones who understand their craft deeply enough to know what to delegate, what to protect, and when the output in front of them isn't good enough.

SESSION 01 - Manifesto or Why this exists
A personal declaration of intent. Not a trend report - a lived perspective from someone who was there for Flash, responsive design, atomic design, Sketch, Figma and now AI.
Your host
Bonjour! My name is Maxime 👋.
I'm a french visual designer based in Berlin and founder of House of Maestro.
Design and code has been my craft and passion for over 15 years. I’ve spent the last 5 years diving deep into design systems, but at heart, I’m a creator who believes in the power of human connection through design.
At House of Maestro, we believe design is more than visuals — it’s about care, craft, and creating experiences that feel human.
