Franciska Windy, ST, MSc, is the founder of an architecture and design practice and the co-founder of an AI-powered consultancy that helps brands renew, reposition, and grow. Her work extends beyond designing spaces; she supports businesses in diagnosing what is fading, identifying misalignment, and rebuilding with clarity across areas ranging from branding to operations.

In both her creative and professional endeavors, Windy treats AI as a thinking partner—one that expands possibilities while keeping human judgment and intention at the center. This philosophy also shapes her approach to parenting in the AI era. She believes children do not need perfect answers; they need curiosity, the ability to ask meaningful questions, and the courage to think critically in a constantly changing world. Algo Child emerged from that belief, capturing her journey of using AI with purpose—questioning its assumptions, co-creating ideas, and guiding children toward awareness, resilience, and the thoughtful use of powerful tools.
