Michael Paulus

Design Technologist

I design the translation layers between human intent and AI execution.

I lead product design, build and ship what I design. My work lives in prompt architecture, interaction patterns, and prototyping at the intersection of human intent and machine capability.

I think of AI as a material, not a tool. Something you shape through language, context, constraints. And when you get good at it, something shifts and the material starts shaping back. That's when collaboration begins.

We're still learning what this material can become. That's the work I'm here for.

If this resonates, I'd enjoy the conversation.

A running research program: 21 interactive experiments, each taking one invisible property of AI systems — context, memory, attention, temperature, framing, friction — and making it tangible enough to poke at.
