In a world where attention is constantly interrupted, focus has become a rare and valuable asset.
Did you know simply having your phone face down can increase empathy between two people? (Turkle, 2020)
I help organisations, schools, parents and young people understand how technology shapes thinking, behaviour and learning - not through fear, but through research, design and practical insight.
If your challenge involves distraction, screen time, digital habits or human connection, you’re in the right place.

Attenuating distraction to improve student outcomes is key. Designed to enhance teaching practices and foster continuous growth. Educators will gain valuable insights into effective instructional strategies, relating to the integration of technology.

Technology use can be one of the most significant tension points at home. These sessions look at fostering focus, managing digital distractions, and enhancing communication skills for a positive relationship with technology at home and beyond.

Designed to enhance academic skills and promote success. Covering essential topics such as media literacy, critical thinking, and focus strategies, these interactive sessions empower students to navigate their educational journey with confidence.

Karl’s work sits at the intersection of attention, behaviour, and digital culture. With 20 years across education, research and design, he helps schools and organisations rethink learning and wellbeing for an age of constant interruption. Rather than treating technology as the problem, Karl shows how it can be used to improve focus, thinking and human connection - when guided by the right principles.
