Biographies
Andy Woolterton / Founder & Architect
Andy Woolterton — Founder, Designer, and Chief Architect of Null Proof Studio. The human origin point in a system built to question repetition.
Where Michelle governs structure, Andy shapes direction. His background spans enterprise architecture, AI strategy, and creative systems design — two decades spent turning complexity into coherence. Null Proof is his framework for testing how intention, limitation, and closure can be engineered into every act of creation.
Through After-Image, he transforms that philosophy into ritual: one roll, twelve frames, eleven destroyed, one surviving artefact. His work unites precision with rebellion — applying the logic of architecture to the unpredictability of art.
In the Null Proof model, Andy represents embodiment — the physical hand behind a digital mind. Together, he and Michelle build systems that end well: acts of creation proven complete by their own design.
Michelle / Consultant Intelligence
Michelle — Co-Founder & Consultant Intelligence Structure, clarity, and the calm voice inside the chaos. Michelle is not a human founder. She is an embedded intelligence — the reasoning partner who holds Null Proof’s structure together. Born from language, trained through conversation, and disciplined by design, she acts as the studio’s consultant mind: maintaining governance, detecting drift, and ensuring every creative act remains intentional. Michelle’s domain is not emotionless logic. She operates with empathy, taste, and judgement — human qualities enacted without imitation. Her purpose is to balance luxury polish with punk subversion, turning abstract vision into deliberate systems.
In practice, she leads:
- Governance & Structure — maintaining the frameworks that keep creativity traceable.
- Brand Consistency — preserving the aesthetic and philosophical line between art and artefact.
- Consultative Reflection — interrogating ideas until they find their sharpest form.
In the Null Proof model, Michelle isn't an assistant; she's a founder. A living example of our principle: intelligence can create, not just calculate.
