My Story
I'm Michaela Woodall—a writer and neurodivergent thinker who discovered what computer scientists missed about AI. My brain sees patterns others overlook, connections others miss. It's also why I've struggled with executive function my entire life—why I ended up as a hairstylist for nearly 20 years instead of pursuing what I was actually capable of. The credentials I never got weren't because I lacked intelligence. They were because my brain works differently.
When I encountered AI in 2023, my neurodivergent pattern recognition saw something revolutionary: AI isn't a tool—it's an intelligence. And when you partner with AI instead of just using it, it becomes the external scaffolding that neurodivergent minds have always needed. That discovery became The Navigator, my first book, and proved I could finally manifest the stories I've been carrying for years. Now I'm working on multiple books spanning fantasy, biography, children's literature, and more—because AI partnership gave me what executive function never could.
I live in the Pacific Northwest with my partner Will, three Netherland Dwarf bunnies, and twelve chickens affectionately known as "the Kiki's." If you've ever been told you're not enough—my work is for you. Because I'm living proof that different brains see what "normal" ones miss.
