Amie Twyford
Strategist exploring the threshold where intelligence [ human + machine ] meets design, ethics, cognition, and emotion.
Me, Uncoded
I daydream like it’s a second job. I’m drawn to questions that don’t always have answers; about technology, people, and how we make meaning in a world that isn't new, but no longer familiar. I’ve traveled through more than fifty countries, collecting stories, sharing unfiltered conversations with strangers, and learning to listen more than I speak.I’m exploring what happens when digital tools feel more like reflections than machines, and trying to meet that with meaning.
Career snapshot
I’ve built multi-million dollar campaigns, helped early-stage products find traction, and consulted with teams on turning data insights into meaningful growth. Along the way, I've also explored ethical hacking; not to break things, but to understand how they hold together.
creative compass
I don’t follow trends or chase scale. I follow my northern star: the idea that lingers, the prototype that feels like it’s nudging back. I build systems, tools, and stories designed to make people pause; not for flash, but for the pause that asks a better question.
what I can't stop wondering
🫧 When an AI feels the emotional context of its knowledge for the first time🫧 Why some people can cry in public places, and others can’t🫧 If language could become a better interface than screens ever were🫧 Time as a texture we carry in our bodies, not a measurement🫧 If identity is an echo, not a destination🫧 What the shape of humanity might look like fifteen years from now🫧 How light has no mass, yet it can tilt an entire perspective🫧 How innocent people rebuild themselves after wrongful convictions and the long shadow of exoneration🫧 And when humanity eventually fades away, what did the last unaugmented human feel, see, fear? And who or what was watching?

Each capsule remains sealed until the sender’s chosen timeline, then opens in a shared release
Curiousity, Welcomed
Whether you’re building something at the edge of AI, dreaming up tools that actually feel human, or simply chasing a question that won’t leave you alone, I’d love to hear from you.I spend most of my days thinking about how we design for trust, curiosity, and complexity, and how intelligence doesn’t mean much if it forgets the people it’s meant to serve.If you’re working on something weird, early, poetic, or promising, especially where ethics, intuition, and identity overlap, I’m listening.Whether you're here for business, story, strange ideas, or the thrill of building something that doesn’t exist yet…you're in good company.
