From Architect of Distraction to Steward of Attention
Shifting from capturing attention to protecting presence and focus.
Focus: Protecting human attention and focus.
In the attention economy, success is measured in clicks, scrolls, and time on site. Designers are asked to keep eyes glued to screens at all costs.
Stewards of attention see things differently. They treat human attention as precious, limited, and worth protecting. They design experiences that nurture presence, focus, and well-being, privileging depth over dopamine and connection over compulsion. Their work is not about grabbing attention, but about honoring it and creating environments where focus and reflection can flourish
