I started learning to construct crosswords in 2020, and it quickly became a passion. I’ve published standard and cryptic crossword puzzles in the New York Times, USA Today, Universal Crosswords (syndicated in newspapers across Canada and the U.S.), the Los Angeles Times, The Walrus, The Browser, The Wall Street Journal, AVCX (an awesome indie venue with roots at The Onion), and Puzzmo (another fantastic indie venue). I also edit crosswords for the Lil’ and Classic branches of AVCX.
