Design isn’t always a pencil and a ruler,. Disabilit isn’t always a wheelchair
Amber talks about inclusive design, invisible disabilities and the importance of being open about difficult subjects.
About the speaker
Amber Davies is a 22 year old Product Design graduate who used her chronic illness and appreciation for good design as motivation to challenge perceptions of disability through a variety of creative works. Her aim is to help empower and inspire people with disabilities, both visible and invisible, as well as educating the general public, raising awareness and hopefully eradicating some stigma.
Her work includes involvement with the media for mainstream news and television programmes, producing content for print (a highlight being an article for the EasyJet inflight magazine earlier this year), being a part of developing and designing physical products for various companies as well as designing her own, creating her own podcast series, working with local authorities to implement design changes, and working heavily on social media, both on her own platform as well as other brands - amongst a host of other bits and bobs.
