I am the CEO of the U.K. Centre of Excellence for self harm & suicide prevention, harmless.org.uk
My experience sees me advising internationally and to Government in relation to mental health and equality. A practicing specialist psychotherapist, I am also an artist and a mum to 5.

Since late 2021 I have been an active creator and collector in the NFT space. A serial social entrepreneur I am compelled to learn and develop but to also enhance the space with my niche skill set. Some describe my role as a safety consultant, offering scrutiny to project/business equality practices for safety and accessibility. I have published broadly, speak internationally and have the equivalent of an MBE for my work.

As an artist, my art overlaps with my professional capabilities, exploring the human experience through creative expression. An eclectic and award-winning artist my work was abandoned for many years due to my own illhealth. Now, after finding the NFT space this creativity has returned and been nurtured, growing a steady following and recently securing a sought after spot in the Nas Academy creator programme.

Alongside the art I create, I advise projects on:
Philanthropic strategy, specifically how they can build ‘doing good’ into their overall strategy and direction,
How to promote wellbeing in all NFT spaces
How safety and safe practice serve everyone well
Business strategy & sustainability
Welfare practices as business sense

I deliver training and support around online safety, incl. discord management & moderation & run a range of National and International Services.

A gay, disabled mum to 5 and foster mum to 1, a survivor of atrocities and carer, I am boundlessly dedicated to compassionate inclusivity and support.

Jessica Jabr

Jessica Jabr

Hey there!

I'm Jessica Jabr, a trailblazing design maven with a tech-savvy twist, thriving in the heart of the Big Apple. At 35, I've mastered the art of merging creativity with cutting-edge technology, and I'm here to bring a burst of innovation to your team.

As an immigrant who's danced between cultural borders and complex coding landscapes, I bring a fresh and diverse perspective as vibrant as the streets of NYC. Armed with a Master's in Fine Arts in Design & Technology from Parsons School of Design and a Bachelor's in Business Administration, I'm a true hybrid – seamlessly blending design finesse with business acumen.

Picture this: orchestrating immersive experiences that blur the line between pixels and reality. I've dived into machine learning models, wielded the magic of creative coding, and tangoed with interactive media – all to craft mind-bending encounters.

But my story is more than that. I've thrived in the tech startup scene, both in the Middle East and the vibrant streets of New York City. From launching and scaling businesses to crafting ingenious user experiences, I've worn more hats than a trendsetting milliner. As a Design Operations Manager at [Current Company], I've orchestrated design teams into a harmonious symphony, ensuring their brilliance is executed flawlessly, time and time again.

Now, let's delve into strategy. I've orchestrated partnerships that soared by 30% year-on-year, thanks to my secret blend of benchmarking and MVP wizardry. And that 25% boost in competition participation? That's my mojo, combined with a sprinkle of innovative outreach and media magic.

Being an immigrant, I've learned the art of breaking down barriers and forging connections. My designs don't just capture attention; they resonate on a global scale. And my time at Arabnet? I practically penned the playbook on growing partnerships and hacking growth. I've mastered translating intricate code and complex design into a language that speaks to everyone – from startups to seasoned pros.

So, if you're seeking a dynamic, tech-savvy, design-loving immigrant with a dash of NYC hustle, I'm your go-to. Let's chat about how I can infuse your team with a fresh perspective, artistic flair, and an abundance of innovative magic.
