About us
Hi! We're Ash and Lena. We have loved doing puzzles since we were kids and have rediscovered our passion for unwinding with cute and fun puzzles in our adulthood. However, we noticed a lack of options that include Asian cultural representation. This inspired us to create Puzzle Pals, where we combine our love for puzzles, hobbies, and our cultures. By partnering with Asian artists to showcase their unique styles, we hope to bring more inclusive and nostalgic puzzle experiences to everyone.
Lena loves puzzles, animals, the outdoors and wants to explore all the US National Parks. Her favorite Puzzle Pal puzzle so far is ‘Snacks from Home’. She can’t wait to continue creating more puzzles that bring joy and nostalgia with her best friend, Ash.
Ashley grew up with a Japanese mother and a Chinese father in a very American household. An only child- she was raised with a zoo including birds, frogs, cats, dogs, and guinea pigs. Much of her time was spent playing 2 player board games (yes, as both players), drawing, and of course, doing puzzles. All are still hobbies today, but her favorite is unwinding with a good puzzle with her bestie, Lena.
