Hi, I'm Maria!

I've loved puzzles for as long as I can remember.

What started as a relaxing hobby slowly became something much bigger.                                              A puzzle on the table became an entire evening. One puzzle became another.                                      And before I knew it, puzzling had become part of my life. 

Then I discovered speed puzzling.                                                                                                                      What I thought was a quiet hobby suddenly opened the door to an incredible community I never knew existed.

I met people who travel across countries for competitions.
People who can finish a 500-piece puzzle in under an hour.
Collectors with walls full of puzzles.
People who light up the moment you mention a favorite brand, a beautiful image or a new release.

People who were just as obsessed with puzzling as I was. 

The deeper I went into this world, the more I realized something. Puzzling is so much more than putting pieces together. Behind every puzzle is a story.

A photographer waiting for the perfect shot.
An artist bringing an idea to life.
A creator sharing a piece of their imagination.
A puzzle manufacturer transforming an image into an experience.

And then there are the puzzlers themselves - the people who spend hours exploring that image piece by piece.

Yet somehow, those worlds rarely meet. The artist rarely knows who puzzled their work.
The puzzler rarely knows the story behind the image.
And most puzzle experiences begin and end with a box on a shelf.

I felt there was room for something more.                                                                                                      Something that celebrates not only the finished puzzle, but everything behind it.

The creators.
The stories.
The community.
The anticipation of opening a new box.
The excitement of discovering a new image.
The simple joy of spending an evening completely lost in the pieces.

That idea became Do Not Disturb, I'm Puzzling. A place where talented creators, trusted puzzle makers and passionate puzzlers come together through carefully curated experiences designed for people who genuinely love puzzling.

Not just a puzzle.

A story to discover.
A creator to meet.
A community to join.
A reason to clear the table and lose track of time.

Because puzzling deserves to be celebrated. 

And because some moments are worth putting the world on hold for. 

For people proudly obsessed with puzzling.
