I build tools and content for neurodivergent minds because one-size-fits-all never actually fit anyone. After years of building enterprise software, I realized the same engineering principles could help ADHD brains like mine work better—not harder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Awakened Industries ecosystem and how it helps neurodivergent creators.
Every Awakened Industries brand is designed around how ADHD and neurodivergent brains actually work—not how productivity culture thinks they should work. Our tools embrace hyperfocus cycles, energy fluctuations, and executive function challenges instead of fighting against them. We build for real patterns, not neurotypical ideals.
Shawn Garland, a software engineer with 8+ years of enterprise experience, based in Maine. As someone with ADHD, Shawn builds the tools and content he wished existed—systems that work with neurodivergent brains rather than demanding they adapt to neurotypical expectations.
