Maya Koegel
Maya Koegel is the resident jigsaw puzzle expert and lead content curator at JSPuzzles. With a lifelong background in spatial reasoning and cognitive games, Maya has spent over a decade exploring the intersection of mindfulness, cognitive longevity, and puzzle-solving.
Before joining JSPuzzles, Maya spent several years contributing to hobby-craft forums and puzzle communities, building an independent reputation for practical, no-nonsense guidance. She bridges the gap between physical and digital puzzling, specializing in comprehensive, step-by-step guides on puzzle preservation, workspace optimization, and advanced solving strategies.
Whether she is testing the ergonomics of puzzle boards, reviewing custom framing and gluing techniques, or curating themed digital collections, Maya's objective is to help enthusiasts of all skill levels maximize their hobby. Her expertise is grounded in rigorous hands-on experience—having completed and archived thousands of puzzles ranging from 100-piece casual games to 5,000-piece masterworks. Every guide she writes is based on methods she has personally tested, prioritizing practical outcomes over theory.
When she isn't writing guides or curating the next featured album for the JSPuzzles community, Maya can usually be found sorting edge pieces over a cup of coffee.
