Hi! I’m Emily aka Poofy,
This page was the beginning of introducing Poofy and her Thesis Beyond Hearing, displayed at the Year End Show at OCAD University May 2026

ICANTHEARYOU is a Deaf-led creative platform using storytelling with visual media, art, and accessible design to express Deaf experiences and promote inclusive communication. Through illustrations, zines, educational posters, captioned videos, and workshops, the platform transforms real Deaf experiences into creative learning tools that help people better understand accessibility.

There is a lot on this platform that needs improvement, however I am really excited to share with you what I can offer.
