Did you ever order books at school through Scholastic? If so, did you ever hear about an 11-year-old kid ordering a dictionary, a thesaurus, and a grammar guide from one of those flyers? Well, Christina was that kid.

She’s since made good on that obsession by crafting compelling, clear digital copy for banks, telecom companies and more for over a decade. In addition to working as a Senior Content Designer with Scotiabank, she’s a Certified Copy Editor from Editors Canada. (That grammar guide was a sign!) She lives near Toronto with her husband, cats, and a moderately ridiculous amount of tea.

Succeeding in Content Design with ADHD

Christina Vasilevski Senior Content Designer, Scotiabank
"The current perception of ADHD isn’t a charitable one, although that has been recently changing. ADHD is not the inability to sit still and focus – it’s a different way of processing the world and managing executive function. And people with it can have thriving careers because of the way they perceive the world, not despite it.

In this session, we’ll look at what ADHD actually is, how it manifests differently in men vs women (and how women and girls have been comparatively underdiagnosed), and how it can be a strength, rather than a liability, in content design. We’ll also discuss coping mechanisms, ways to stay organized, methods of maintaining focus in a demanding world, and additional resources to learn more about how ADHD works.
