WHAT IS HANDIQUEERS?
We are a small collective of independent creative queers with varying skillsets choosing from an assortment of projects through the Handiqueers gig-hub. When a client submits a request for services everyone on our team has access to the information. Handiqueers with corresponding skill sets will pick up gigs, reach out to clients, and begin planning with them!

Linée.
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.

Acey.
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.
