Alum makes puzzle with Ravensburger

Karen Kavett 11 GD started her YouTube channel when she was a first-year student at RISD, back when video blogging was a brand new medium.

In the 14 years since then, Kavett has continued posting on YouTube, currently on her channel Karen Puzzles, where she solves the most interesting jigsaw puzzles she can find. The channel is quickly nearing 200,000 subscribers.

Two exciting things have happened for Kavett this year. The first is the release of her own puzzle with Ravensburger. It is a 3000 piece puzzle called Puzzles on Puzzles, and is an homage to gradient puzzles, her favorite type of puzzle. This is the first time that Ravensburger has worked directly with an influencer to release a custom puzzle. It is currently available for pre-order and will be released on November 21.

Kavett was also featured in Guinness World Records 2023 in a spread about puzzles for having the largest YouTube channel all about jigsaw puzzles!
