Jessica Sutherland

Collaborative design and cyber security student.

Naarm (Melbourne), Australia

I am a proud queer and disabled woman designing next-generation digital crisis support services for LGBTQIA+ young Australians through my charity, Q Co-Lab. I’m also currently studying Cyber Security at Victoria University, and plan to further my studies in collaborative design theory.

I am a resourceful and self-motivated designer with excellent communication skills and a lifelong passion for information technology. I love bringing a human connection to technology and designing playful solutions to innovative problems with a user-centred, detail-oriented approach. I’m passionate about co-design, empathy and creating safe spaces for trauma-informed design practice.

I collect books from across the world on design and counter-culture. You can usually find me at with a laptop and cup of tea exploring the unique city of Melbourne. You can keep up to date by following me on Instagram, or reading my blog.
