Andy Evans – otherwise known as his online alter ego Doddz – is considered to be one of the best augmented reality creators in the UK, if not the world. His art often resonates deeply with audiences, weaving themes of adventure and happiness into captivating experiences. Augmented Reality is a technology that overlays digital content onto the real world, blending virtual elements with reality to create immersive experiences. AR is a powerful new tool for brands, boosting engagement and in-store experiences, which in turn increases sales conversions by an impressive 94%! After a difficult childhood and school experience – Andy has severe dyslexia – he picked up graphic design and leapt into a world he felt comfortable in. A world where he defied the odds – a phrase that would later influence the name Doddz. Contact Great British Speakers today to book technology augmented reality creator Andy Evans aka Doddz for your next event. Having only been diagnosed with dyslexia when he was 16, Andy Evans struggled with all schooling, being put in a lower set class and told he wouldn’t amount to much. He was surrounded by teachers who would belittle him and discourage him, not realising he was actually having difficulties reading. This treatment followed him through life and inspired his “Defy the Oddz” method, breaking down barriers and believing there are no limitations to achieving your goal. Andy Evans was determined to work at businessman Steven Bartlett’s Social Chain, a worldwide, innovative social media agency. With no formal training or videography skills, Andy taught himself and eventually became Steven’s videographer. Being this close to him meant Andy quickly picked up a lot of excellent business advice. After working for Steven, he launched his own graphic design company, GG, where he put on a 10-day exhibition in Solihull, seeing 400% more visitors pass through than average and selling all bar three items of artwork. Andy developed his skills and founded the Virtual Art Space, a media house working on augmented reality projects such as canvases, sculptures, murals, films, gaming, and custom jackets. He began making custom jackets that came to life using augmented reality, which led to Andy building up a very impressive list of clients. Andy has worked with boxer Anthony Joshua, singers Drake and Doja Cat, comedians James Corden and Russell Howard, media personality Logan Paul and former basketball player Shaquille O’Neil. He has also partnered with Adidas, Aston Martin, Amazon, the Beatles, Boohoo, Coachella Festival, Complex, Disney, Dior, Facebook, FIFA, Gymshark, HBO, High Snobiety, ITV, IVY Park, Manchester City, Marvel, Meta, Nickelodeon, Nike, Paramount, Puma, Snapchat, Sony, TikTok, and Tommy Hilfiger. Andy participated in London Fashion Week, collaborating with Snapchat to produce a fashion show with a difference. The 150 attendees held their phones up to models to reveal his collection of digital streetwear. The aim was to highlight the damage to the environment the fashion world does and inspire talks about sustainability. He aims to continue collaborating with big brands to promote the use of AR in education and innovation. Through his Doddz Academy, Andy offers courses and workshops on Augmented Reality, designed to share simple steps and improve global AR skills. The idea for the academy was influenced by his own frustration in learning about AR when he didn’t have the education to support him. Through the academy, Andy hopes to inspire new creators clearly and concisely. His skills have seen him named as one of TechRound's 29 Under 29 Entrepreneurs. Andy Evans aka Doddz Speaking In 2020, Andy created a 13-minute TEDx talk following 13 years of life, speaking about his “Defy the Oddz” message, how to start a business, how to be a successful entrepreneur, how to defy expectations, and the importance of diversity and inclusion.

Lucy Edwards is a blind social media influencer, content creator, radio broadcaster and presenter, disability speaker and the first ever blind ambassador for beauty brand Pantene. In 2013, at the age of 17, Lucy Edwards lost her vision and had to learn how to navigate her life again. Whilst a frightening time, it was also the beginning of an extraordinary journey to find self-acceptance and joy again. Her honest down-to-earth style has since made her a popular face on social media and an admired campaigner for disability and equality.  So much so, that in the years since she went public with her disability, Lucy has grown a huge following across platforms, with over 190,000 on Instagram, 807,000 on YouTube and over 1.8 million on TikTok  These large followings mean her message is reaching countries as far and wide as the UK and USA, to Australia and Canada. Lucy’s motto in life is that she is 'blind, not broken'. Contact Great British Speakers today to book Blind Content Creator and Pantene Ambassador Lucy Edwards for your next event. After a Vision-saving operation failed, Lucy Edwards went blind almost instantly. As a young woman wanting to experience life like any other young woman, she realised there was no one online that  she could identify with, so she thought “let’s give it a go”. Determined to make a difference, she uploaded her first-hand experiences to TikTok and YouTube. One of her early videos ‘blind girl does her own makeup’ went viral, gaining over 19 million views, and she became the first British blind person on YouTube to pave the way for change for visually-impaired users. Her videos on YouTube and TikTok explore the everyday things that people assume she cannot manage being visually impaired; these include being able to use mobile apps, how she clears up after her guide dog, how to send a text, how to holiday alone, how to cross roads, how she eats, drinks and pays in a restaurant, how she reads or watches television, how she gets dressed, puts on her makeup, washes her hair, cooks, does her laundry etc. Whilst her message is serious, her medium is not, and she likes to explore these myths in an entertaining and accessible way, without being patronising to those who do not have prior knowledge of blindness. Several years later, Lucy Edwards is now the first-ever blind content creator to become an ambassador for hair-care company Pantene, featuring in their television and social adverts, with her face across Superdrug stores nationwide. She also worked closely with them to ensure their packaging is accessible to the vision-impaired community. She was the first blind presenter on BBC Radio 1 and Radio 4, and contributes to the BBC Ouch website, which reflects the lives and experiences of disabled people. For Lucy, radio is her preferred medium as it doesn’t involve having to watch something, she can enjoy it both as a presenter and as a listener. At Radio 4, the ‘touch’ programme she works on, is produced, reported and presented by blind journalists for blind people and is fully inclusive. She has worked alongside BBC engineers to make the BBC London studios more accessible in the future for those with disabilities, not just visual. In 2019 she published her book The Blind Beauty Guide, a short but fascinating guide for anyone who wants help in applying their makeup, whether they have a visual impairment or not. She has been featured on Vision Australia Radio Studio 1, on Scott Guthrie’s “Influencer Marketing Lab” podcast in 2022, BBC Newsbeat, BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour, and has worked alongside Vogue Business, the Apple App Store and the Brit Awards. Thanks to her personal experience, Lucy is incredibly passionate about disability rights and inclusion and has worked with a number of charities. She has run at events like the Silverstone Half Marathon and the London Marathon to raise money for Guide Dogs UK, who went on to award her with the Young Person’s Achievement Award. She also works with LOOK UK, a charity which helps young visually impaired people and their families by holding workshops and talks in order to support blind people to be able to apply their makeup with confidence. In 2014, she was the keynote speaker for the RNIB summer gala alongside singer Rod Stewart; she has toured schools to promote the charity Fixers UK after collaborating in writing a children’s novel called The Superhero Dog about her now-retired guide dog Olga; and she has also worked as a digital ambassador the charity Living Paintings in which she interviews Daredevil star Charlie Cox. LUCY EDWARDS - DISABILITY SPEAKER Lucy is a popular choice for event hosting and speaking engagements thanks to her work in the media as well as her ambassadorial work and promotion of disability rights. She spoke at The Children’s Media Conference where she talked about the importance of making disability mainstream and how we should re-think our approach to inclusion, for both those in front and behind the camera.
