Crosswords right to your door
This crossword project brings together my graphic design background + love of the game. Each month I experiment with a new theme and gather feedback from friends and family, who receive this by mail 💌 or local dropoff in New York.

✾ This puzzle is all about my milestone birthday this month ✾
July 2024
This month’s puzzle is dedicated to the neurologists, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff that took care of my dad after his brain surgery this summer. We are so lucky he’s still the same guy he was before the aneurysm, even though some qualities needed a bit longer to recover than others. I love you dad ♡

This month’s puzzle was created on a train from Oslo to Bergen. Along with making progress on the puzzle, I left the train with hundreds of blurry, washed-out photos of the Norwegian countryside. It’s a bummer that pictures from a moving vehicle never quite capture view, but that’s okay! Just another excuse to go out and see it all for yourself~
May 2024
This month’s theme had me remembering my family’s “home” phone, playing the Snake game on my first flip phone, and logging into Myspace on the tiny screen of a Verizon Chocolate phone during middle school hours...now we have cobalt mining for our smartphones tearing up the DRC and fueling a humanitarian crisis. Ah!
April 2024
This month’s puzzle brings different crossword elements I’ve wanted to experiment with for a while. Between the layered themes, more illustrations, rising plot, I hope you have as much fun as I had making it 🎶
March 2024
After I finally accepted the news of being laid off, I wiped away my tears and realized I suddenly had all the time in the world to bake. So I did, and I tried a lot of new recipes, of which 70% were successful. The subject of today’s puzzle is a shoutout to the first item that I fell in love with making over and over.
February 2024
This month’s theme is about one of the many reasons I’ve loved living in New York.
January 2024
This month’s theme is inspired by the renewed energy that often comes with the month of January (or the new year), and the encouragement I’m giving myself to embark on this yearlong project.
