I figured I would do an #introduction:

Hi, I'm bupu!

I am a queer PhD student in Tiohtià:ke/ Montreal interested in #DesignResearch.

My research will be exploring #DIY making (#Arduino, soft circuits, #wearables, etc.), #MentalHealth, with the #2SLGBTQ community.

I am also interested in #a11y & #DisabilityJustice.

I also do research and play in #embroidery, #quilting, and digital sketching.

I speak English & French. I can read Spanish, and know basic Vietnamese.

I acknowledge that the pandemic is still very much happening. I wear a KN95 or higher in all indoor public spaces and crowded outdoor spaces, use air purifiers wherever possible, and I respect others' mitigation strategies!

I believe in #CommunityCare and would say I am a dark optimist. Despite everything, I somehow manage to hold on to hope and work from a place of trying to make the world better through my own actions and research.
