Demelza Sutherland
About
I like figuring things out.
I’m Demelza, a Product Designer based in Brisbane. I’m curious by nature and happiest when I’m learning something new, asking questions and making sense of something complicated.
MY STORY
A slightly winding road to get here.
I didn’t start out in product design. My career began in journalism, moved through marketing and communications and eventually into UX, service design and product design.
Each step has given me a deeper understanding of people — how they think, what they need and how to make complex information clear, useful and human.
APPROACH
Good work is a team sport.
I love working with people who care, ask questions and bring different perspectives. The best work comes from open conversations, collaboration and a willingness to listen, learn and work through things together.
WORDS FROM PEOPLE I’VE WORKED WITH
Every time I check something with you, you’re both insightful and quick! I’ve really learned a lot from you, especially the way you always think from the customer’s perspective.”
“
Thanks Demelza for seemingly always being available for all my questions.”
“
Big shout out to Demelza for being so willing to take on feedback with the new Nav designs.”

I’m based in Brisbane and always happy to chat about new opportunities, interesting problems or just a good design conversation.
