Tell us about what your ordinary day looks like.
An ordinary day is a busy one! The days often feel too short — between work, taking care of my two daughters (aged 9 and 6), and managing our home that we’ve just moved into. It's our little slice of paradise surrounded by nature. I have several hobbies and activities, especially puzzling, which I dedicate time to every day. I also love football — I’m an avid supporter of ASSE — and I enjoy hiking as well.
How did you get into the world of puzzling?
I’ve been puzzling since I was very young. I have childhood memories etched in my mind and heart — moments spent with my great-aunt where we would spend a lot of time doing puzzles and also sewing together.
What makes you keep puzzling & how often do you puzzle?
I puzzle every day. Usually in the evening after I’ve finished my day — it’s a time just for me, a relaxing space that I’d describe as a moment of meditation. I can even spend an entire weekend puzzling…
What is your favorite type of puzzle?
I love a wide variety of puzzles. I mainly do 1000 piece puzzles, but I also enjoy 500 piece ones when I know I have less time. In general, I do puzzles ranging from 500 to 2000 pieces. The world of puzzles offers so much variety — there’s something for everyone.
During puzzling sessions, do you listen to anything or puzzle in silence?
It really varies. I might puzzle in silence, watch a series or a football match, listen to a podcast, or put on some music.
If you were to describe what puzzling means to you, what would it be?
One word: relaxation. It's a moment for yourself, like a gift to disconnect. It's also a challenge — and the satisfaction of finishing a puzzle.
Tell us about your other interests & joys.
I have two main passions: puzzles and football — especially for my favorite team. I've supported ASSE since I was a teenager. Going to the stadium is always a unique experience, surrounded by fellow supporters, sharing this passion filled with highs and lows.
Do you have anything you want to share?
I’m very happy to be part of this wonderful puzzle community. It's a kind and sharing space that constantly helps me discover new puzzle brands and illustrations. For the past few months, I’ve also been able to share my love for puzzles with my colleagues. I set up a puzzle corner in our break time — it’s become a fun, communal moment that brings everyone together.
