The Design Lab
Come on in!
This is a place where I prioritize fun over functionality.
Subscribe to explore my design process through a growing library of file sets featuring unreleased prototypes, early versions of puzzles, and more!
Many of the designs you find here are rough in spots or don’t quite work right, but if you enjoy cool mechanisms and tinkering with gadgets then I guarantee you’ll find something to love.

Puzzle Rewards
What’s the point of a box if it’s empty inside? Not much!
That’s why I’ve designed unique thematic rewards for each of my puzzles. Print your own “baby grand” piano or a set of Micro Yahtzee to give your puzzle that extra oomph.
Design Histories
Each of my puzzles have been through an entire journey of self discovery to get to where they are today.
I think those journeys are worth celebrating, so I’ve collected some of the most interesting versions in one place. I think of it as a celebration of everything that shaped their final forms.
Note: a few of the older designs were quite rough, but I’ve spent some time polishing them a bit to help smooth any harsh edges.
Themed Sets
Sometimes it’s fun to be a little whimsy :)
Designing little accoutrements here and there doesn’t really add anything a puzzle, but it sure is fun! Granted I’ve only put together a Christmas theme at the moment, but have plans for more.
And More!
Not everything I print is puzzle-related, I know shocking.
But sometimes a random idea takes hold and you just have to follow it and see where it leads. If you’re lucky, it may lead somewhere pretty cool.
