Tinka Robev and Andrew Azzopardi, who initially crossed paths while studying architecture at the University of Waterloo in 2012, co-founded Puzzle Lab. Having relocated to Victoria, BC, in 2014, the duo initiated Studio Robazzo, a versatile design and branding agency. In response to the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, they conceived the idea of establishing a puzzle company with the aim of encouraging individuals to shift from digital devices to real-world activities. Since its inception, Puzzle Lab has been unwavering in its commitment to crafting puzzles of enduring quality and serving as a platform for showcasing the talents of Canadian artists.
