Bretterbude Workshop – happy place of Micha Brandt, Designer and Maker, Düsseldorf (Ger).

CRAFT, CHAOS and QUESTIONABLE PLAYLIST CHOICES. IF IT INVOLVES MAKING... I'M IN.

By day, Micha's deep in UX and UI, helping brands get their digital act together. Over the past years, that's meant building design systems and digital platforms – untangling messy interfaces, setting standards, and getting design and code to actually talk to each other.

Off the clock, he trades pixels for sawdust and disappears into his basement workshop – where random ideas turn into real things. One-off builds, prototypes, DIY experiments, giving old stuff a second life… there's no fixed plan, just whatever's stuck in his head that week.

Workshop

Where beats hit, sawdust flies, and half-baked ideas get tested against reality – down in his basement, Micha's built a space worth hanging around in.
