About Me

Hi, I'm Victoria and I run the Fun Focus shop!

I have a PhD and ADHD :) I've always been high-performing in school but I couldn't operate until the last minute because I, paradoxically, absolutely dreaded studying! Why would I want to study when I had Wikipedia, Facebook, and Netflix all available on my phone??

As I was diagnosed late, it wasn't until towards the end of my PhD that I realized that this contradiction (and many other things) could all be explained by my ADHD. And it wasn't until I was almost 30 to realize that I could reframe all of the traits I thought I had:

I'm not stupid, I ruminate on multiple things at once making it hard for me to focus on my own thoughts. I'm not inconsiderate, I'm empathetic; always aware of your emotions, your body language, and can remember our shared experiences easier than how many siblings you have. I'm not lazy, I'm accomplished because I can do great things when I'm enjoying something and/or when I'm in my flow state. These are examples of what the ADHD community likes to call our "superpowers".

My goal with Fun Focus is to transform the science-backed ADHD hacks and tools that harness these superpowers, into something physical (or digital) that are fun to use so we actually use them! Each product I put on my shop have personally been game-changers. My deepest wish is to help you reclaim your attention from the digital world and instead use it to accomplish things that are rewarding and exciting to you.

With love,

Victoria at Fun Focus
