Laura Kampf (born Anna Laura Kampf[2] 15 August 1983) is a German YouTuber, designer, and craftswoman. She refers to herself as a "maker". Her content primarily focuses on DIY build projects.
Kampf was born in Wiehl, Germany[3] on 15 August 1983.[4][5] Her father was an advertiser and her mother was a housewife.[6] After high school, Kampf studied design in college, after initially training as a media designer.[7]
Based in Cologne, Kampf began making YouTube videos on her eponymous channel in 2015.[8] On her channel, Kampf has built many projects, including butcher block side tables,[9] a side-car for her bicycle made from a beer keg,[10] a bike trailer made from second-hand wheelbarrows,[11] a yakitori grill made from a repurposed I-beam,[12] and a grill made from a toolbox.[13]
Kampf has frequently collaborated with YouTuber Simone Giertz. She helped Giertz build Truckla, a Tesla Model 3 adapted to be a truck, in 2019.[14][15] Both women worked with Adam Savage in 2021 to build Mad-Max-style battle cars.[16] 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.[17]
Kampf had worked on the German show Die Sendung mit der Maus (The Show with the Mouse) as a "Maus"-expert and "Do-it-your-self-Frau" (Do-it-yourself woman).[18][19] She also worked on the show Schrott or Not.[8] In 2020, Kampf was awarded a Goldene Kamera Digital Award in the category, Best of Education & Coaching.[8]
