This queerdo was raised in Atlanta, trained as a metalsmith and jeweler, and taught metal arts and sculpture in San Francisco for 15 years.

Suzanne has owned and worked on a number of houses in various states of repair. Recently Suzanne helped build a dream cabin in North Carolina from the ground up. During that project, she and her partner moved to an amazing place in Wendell, where Suzanne focuses on her metalsmithing and design practice as her ‘day job’.

Suzanne brings all these experiences to Handiqueers, excited to help you problem solve and make your projects happen with a close eye on craftspersonship

Born in Greenfield, MA - This long-standing member of the service industry and queer community is here to help our LGBTQ+ frendz & neighbors get the support they need from kind & caring queer people who understand that applying good communication can make a world of difference.

With many skillz, lots of tools, and a cute little black truck - Tracy can help with light carpentry, small building projects, odd jobs, basic repairs, and more.

Note: Does not work with/for cis het white men, however might occasionally allow them to do things for her.

This HandiPro began in commercial/industrial painting and quickly moved into carpentry/woodworking. As a trained HVAC tech with skills in both plumbing and electrical work, Linee is invested in being part of Handiqueers to support other queers in broadening and refining their skills.

While currently renovating their A-Frame cabin in southern Vermont, Linee has experience in managing rough framing to finish trim work and everything in between. This Handiqueer is happy to tackle projects and tasks alone, with other Handiqueers, or alongside the homeowner - coaching or helping in any way they can - from design to project management, no task is too big/small.

Sidenote: Linee is also a musician and works in the education field. You can see some of their projects on instagram @Hawk_LTP or on facebook at LTP Functional Design!

Purchasing, renovating, and working on their very first home in Turners Falls, MA this Handiqueer has acquired a gaggle of #DIY skills that include carpentry, fine wood-working, painting, cleaning, organizing, building custom nooks & crannies to store things in, making/fixing drawers & cabinets, yard work, weatherproofing, and sooo much more…

Acey's favorite Handiqueer gigs involve anything that allows her to get in the dirt and lift/move heavy objects from one location to another. She's always dreaming of gardening in the golden hour, basement cleanouts, and quick n' dirty moving jobs.

Because clinical skills are used most days in her mental health profession, Acey loves having to use a different assortment of muscles in her work with HQ. She'll even move an extra box of books or plant an extra bush if you ply her with strong coffee and sweet affirmations!
