Love for jigsaws, arts, and women’s empowerment
As a child, founder Paris Zhao had always been passionate about the wonder of colors. She would spend hours happily painting or completing jigsaw puzzles, filling her world with color. Growing up, her priorities shifted to gaining entry into the University of Oxford and landing an exciting job, leaving her childhood behind to enter the adult world. Like many others, she was caught up in the fast pace of life and the turbulence of rushing to carve out a career for herself in the fast-changing technology industry.
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic seemingly put a halt to everything. For most people, including Zhao, the experiences of being confined inside the walls of their houses and being cut off from the world were distressing. Still, it also opened an opportunity to find new meaning and live differently.
Consequently, during these long and anxiety-filled years, Zhao found time to reconnect with jigsaw puzzles as a form of escape and rediscover the pure joy she once had. She found her inner peace and a new life purpose through solving puzzles. She started dreaming about a way to integrate art into her newly revived interest and began visualizing puzzles as artworks to be preserved and framed.
What started as a fun project led Zhao toward the path of being an entrepreneur, doing fundraising, navigating manufacturing, art licensing, graphic design, and procurement to bring the company to life. Also, a percentage of each puzzle sale will be attributed directly to the talented female artist behind every creation, supporting her creative journey to make even more stunning artwork.
Each Palette Puzzles kit is beautifully packed in a recyclable box, making it a perfect gift for families and friends over the holiday season. Puzzle fans can shop for their ideal puzzle gifts on the company’s website.
