What Do You Call Someone Who Creates Jigsaw Puzzles? Industry Terms

There isn't a single official title, but these terms are commonly used depending on context:

• Puzzle Designer – Professional role (designs cut patterns, image selection, difficulty grading).
• Puzzle Maker / Manufacturer – Company or artisan producing the physical product.
• Jigsaw Puzzle Artist / Illustrator – Creates the artwork used on the puzzle.
• Puzzle Constructor – Sometimes used for those designing the interlocking cut logic.
• Puzzle Enthusiast / Hobbyist – Someone making custom puzzles for fun (e.g., via laser cutter or print-on-demand).

In the industry, Puzzle Designer is the standard professional term. For custom one-offs, "custom puzzle creator" or "personalized puzzle maker" works well.
