Dylan Mulder – Founder of M U L D E R
Multidimensional Artist | Māori Industrial Designer | AI + Ancestral Code
Dylan Mulder is a multidimensional artist and industrial designer who draws upon his Māori culture to bring creations to life across both digital and material worlds. His work sits at the cutting edge of immersive technologies while simultaneously speaking to the spiritual realm and the natural environment.
Using artificial intelligence as a creative collaborator, Dylan translates identity, symbolism, and Māori worldviews into singular pieces that adorn people, spaces, and places. He merges algorithms found in the laws of nature with ancient cultural motifs, allowing each design to grow into existence, organic, authentic, and unique.
The result is M U L D E R: a visionary brand for those seeking adornments that celebrate transparent, cutting-edge design processes while reflecting the ancient design language of Aotearoa Māori. From generative AI to hand-finished objects, Dylan’s work bridges time, technology, and tradition.
