How Mockup Maison grew from a COVID side project to 3,000 mockups

What began as a dormant COVID project that nearly didn’t launch has evolved into one of the industry’s most recognised names. Mockup Maison, founded by Kevin Högger and Michael Kennedy, built its reputation on a deceptively simple insight: designers don’t need more scattered resources – they need holistic collections that work together. This philosophy has shaped everything from their creative process, which involves collaborating with photographers across global cities, to their expanding product range that now spans video mockups, motion templates, typefaces and stock images. With a library of over 3,000 premium mockups, Högger and Kennedy have transformed what started as a self-made collection into a comprehensive platform serving designers worldwide. In our conversation, the duo shares how they’ve built Mockup Maison through learning by doing, why complete collections matter more, and what’s next as they continue expanding beyond their PSD origins. TBI: Hey Kevin and Michael, how are you both? MM: Hey there! We are good, thanks! Winter in Switzerland is here, and we can’t wait to see some snow.
