Illustrated portrait of Lucy Chapar with curly hair, pink glasses, and a friendly smile

Hi, I'm Lucy (she/her)

I'm a transfemme maker, open-source hardware nerd, and Nerf blaster modder. I'm probably best known for designing the LumenPnP, working in sex-tech with Research+Desire, and spending way too much time around hackerspaces and niche internet communities.

I care deeply about making things in the open, sharing ideas freely, and trying to be an example of the kind of collaborative, accessible world I want to live in.

Right now I'm building gender affirming tools, experimental hardware/software projects, and documenting life along the way!

If you'd like to support my work, thank you — it genuinely means a lot.

Want to build something together?

I am open to collaborations, creator partnerships, commissions, and conversations around gender-affirming tech, open hardware, AI voice, and practical maker education.
