Trying to get smarter about AI, systems, or strategy? You're in the right place.
I’m Michelle Jamesina, a strategist and writer exploring how people use (and are used by) the systems around them.
This site is where I share working ideas, frameworks, and tools for people who want to use AI to build, persuade, and lead. All without replacing the judgment, creativity, or communication that makes their work matter.

Michelle Jamesina
Strategist and Writer
I’m Michelle. I’m a strategist and writer who thinks way too much about what AI can (and can’t) do. I’ve worked with government agencies, tech companies, and founders trying to use big tools without losing the thread. I started out as a brand and UX designer, which is probably why I still care about clarity, structure, and what it feels like to use a system.
These days I’m writing, consulting, and occasionally designing app ideas I don’t have time to finish. You’ll find most of my work and thinking over at Narrative and Neural Nets, where I break down how AI intersects with language, strategy, and human decision-making.
