Laura Kampf (born 15 August 1983) is a German YouTuber, designer, and craftswoman. Kampf refers to herself as a 'maker.' Her content primarily focusses on DIY build projects.

Early life

Kampf was born in Wiehl, Germany[2] on August 15 1983.[3][4] Her father was an advertiser and her mother was a housewife.[5] After high school, Kampf studied design in college, after initially training as a media designer.[6]

Career

Based in Cologne, Kampf began making YouTube videos on her eponymous channel in 2015.[7] On her channel, Kampf has built many projects, including butcher block side tables,[8] a side-car for her bicycle made from a beer keg,[9] a bike trailer made from second-hand wheelbarrows,[10] a yakitori grill made from a repurposed I-beam,[11] and a grill made from a toolbox.[12]

Kampf has frequently collaborated with YouTuber Simone Giertz. She helped Giertz build Truckla, a Tesla Model 3 adapted to be a truck, in 2019.[13][14] Both women worked with Adam Savage in 2021 to build Mad-Max-style battle cars.[15] In 2022, Giertz's company, Yetch, released their set of Build Dice, co-designed by Giertz and Kampf, to help people come up with new project ideas.[16]
