THE PALMARIS JOURNEY

Our Story

Palmaris Puzzles began in 2022 when I left my career in finance to follow a lifelong passion: puzzles and art. While I always loved the tactile joy of wooden puzzles, I noticed something missing — the back side was always blank. That question — “Why not tell a story there too?” — sparked the idea for Palmaris: double-sided wooden puzzles with vibrant artwork on the front and engraved stories on the back.

More Than Just Pieces

Every Palmaris Puzzle is designed, printed, engraved, and cut in our Canadian workshop. Made from thick poplar wood, each piece feels satisfying in your hands. Whimsical cutouts, tied to the artwork, turn every build into a treasure hunt. Many puzzles also include cultural or historical booklets, transforming each puzzle into an experience of discovery.

Our Mission

We believe puzzles should slow life down, bring families back to the table, and create memories worth keeping. Palmaris Puzzles aren’t just for one build — they’re designed to be replayed, displayed, and passed down for generations.

Thank You

From our family workshop to your home, thank you for being part of the Palmaris story. Every puzzle you build connects not just art and story, but people and moments that last.

MEET THE MAKER

Puzzles have been my passion since I was a kid. I love wooden puzzles, but I always wished the pieces could be works of art instead of repeating patterns. That dream inspired me to create Palmaris Puzzles — each one crafted from poplar wood with artwork on the front, engraved stories on the back, and unique whimsy pieces that make every build an experience. Today, I design and make every puzzle in Canada with one goal: to bring people together through puzzles worth treasuring.
