About NeuroArts Interactive
Built by founders who lived the problem.
NeuroArts Interactive builds tools for the work people actually do. MizuMind is our flagship app — a mental conditioning platform for first responders, military, and martial artists.
We don't study these audiences from outside — we come from them. Michael is a black belt and longtime martial arts practitioner; Dyshaun served in the US military. The products we ship are the products we wished we'd had — sized, voiced, and shaped for the people we know.
The operating thesis is simple:
Founder-product fit is the moat.
MizuMind is the practice we needed and couldn't find. Built on a single conviction: technology earns its keep when it sounds like the people it's for.
What We Build
Flagship app
MizuMind
Mental conditioning for first responders, military, and martial artists. A black belt and a veteran built this — not a wellness studio.
Mizu no Kokoro— mind like water. The foundational concept warriors and martial artists have trained for centuries. Sessions from 90 seconds to 10 minutes, built around shifts, not lunch hours.

Michael Rutherford
Co-Founder & CEO
A longtime martial artist and black belt, Michael builds the MizuMind practice from his own training. Mizu no Kokoroisn't a marketing concept — it's the discipline he trains. As CEO he leads product, technical architecture, and the applied-science thesis behind MizuMind.
His test for everything we ship: would the person using this recognize themselves in it?
Dyshaun Hines
Co-Founder & COO
Dyshaun is a US military veteran. He brings the credibility that the MizuMind audience — first responders, active-duty service members, veterans — can feel. His understanding of shift work, post-incident decompression, and the cultural register of people who hold the line is direct, not studied.
As COO, Dyshaun leads operations, partnerships, go-to-market, and brand-voice authority. He anchors the MizuMind voice end-to-end.
His test for everything we ship: does this sound like the people we serve, or like someone trying to sell to them?
Why Us
Most wellness apps are built by people who don't live the work they're selling into. Most software is built by people who don't use it. We are both — the high-intensity professional who couldn't find a practice that fit the shift. So we built it.
MizuMind is precise, grounded in time-tested breathwork and focus practice, and free of wellness-studio posturing.
That's the whole pitch. Built by founders who lived the problem.
Built for the job.
First responder, service member, or martial artist — MizuMind is the practice that meets the work.
