My name is Amber Wilks and I have been telling stories through design in some capacity for over 20 years. I'm currently a Lead User Experience Designer at Cerner. Cerner is a leading medical technology company where I help solve complex problems with amazingly talented people. The more complex the problem, the more I enjoy working through it. One of my passions is accessibility. I was first introduced to it when I was doing both design and front-end development work. I fell in love with it through the lens of Universal Design and designing for the equality of experiences. It's something I'm so passionate about that I've spoken about it at several conferences. The most recent conference I spoke at was Midwest UX 2016. I also speak about crafting cross-platform experiences, the impact of security on usability, and building future-proof design systems.

Let me introduce myself. I’m Emma and I suffered from depression. At my lowest point I was crying in Sainsbury’s over the choice of chicken (too many options), getting a really naff tattoo (don’t make me show it) and being prescribed anti-depressants to treat my acute levels of stress. Fun times. But how did I end up there and, more importantly, how did I get to where I am now? On paper, my life was perfect. I traveled, had a great career, and a supportive family. I lived in a lovely home with a great man and my two children. Then, a few years ago, I hit a rough patch. A very rough patch. I felt like I was skidding head first across gravel with all my soft bits exposed. No matter which way I turned life chaffed, scratched, scraped and left me raw. I cried a lot. I shouted a lot. I resented the kids, hated my business. My husband was bearable as he refrained from rolling his eyes when I took up the whole 'crying over everything' habit. I felt exhausted but my mind wouldn’t let up. It was full of lists. Things I hadn’t got done, things I needed to do and things I needed to think of that were coming up. I would play over my failures, guilt eating away at me, my inner critic was on fire and relished her role of chief Emma beater. I began to question the point of it all? Was this really my life? Fear, anger, sadness and guilt. Was this it? Why wasn’t I happy when I had so much to be happy about? That’s when I realised that no matter what was happening around me, where I lived, what I did, who I was with - the real secret to my happiness was on the inside. In my head to be precise. I studied, researched, attended courses and embarked on many adventures to find the happiness within myself. And it worked! I am happy (Woo-hoo). I can, hand on heart, say that I enjoy my life. I can even just about cope with the school run and traffic jams. Go me. I found the awesome in myself again and, it may sound corny, but that is kind of awesome. I worked it out. I know the answers and I now want to tell you all about it (I’m an over-sharer what can I say). I want to help you get your head in a good place so that you can pass go and collect your awesome without all the going to jail and crying over chicken in Sainsburys stuff. Come on, jump in, book me. Let me show you how to get sorted and get awesome. Enjoy! PS No naff tattooing required

I'm a productivity, time-management and efficiency nerd. I spent the first 15+ years of my career involved in operations and HR at several early-stage start-ups, where there was always way more to do than people to do it. But I also believe that work-life balance is essential for everyone, even though the definition may be different for everyone. As a result, I began to develop and implement productivity systems in the companies I worked for, and in my life, to ensure that goals were met, balls were not dropped, and that, most importantly, I and those around me stayed sane. My productivity and time-management systems, techniques, tricks and hacks can be customized to any team, individual or household. My aim is to help you do all that you want to do, with less effort and less stress. With my help, you will learn that it's possible to stop worrying that you have forgotten to do something, or are behind on something, because you will be on top of what you need to do. I will teach you how to prioritize effectively, so that you can spend the right amount of time on the right things. My strategies and techniques will help you to preserve your play time and give your brain a rest, all while getting more done than you can imagine. With a background in HR, I am also SPHR and SHRM-SCP certified.
