Jasper Davidoff is a journalist and puzzlemaker.

I'm a producer with The New Yorker's puzzles & games team. Previously, I was the editorial fellow at Audubon Magazine, where I fact-checked and reported stories on birds, science, and culture. You might have heard me talking moving walkways or garbage disposals on 99% Invisible or read my pieces on cicada enthusiasts and death cafés in The Christian Science Monitor. My crosswords have appeared in outlets like the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and Puzzmo.

I am a corn-fed Illinoisan now living in Brooklyn, and a graduate of Pomona College, where I studied anthropology and music. When I'm not writing or puzzling, I might be playing sax, clarinet, melodica, or slide whistle, birding, or haunting the nearest farmer's market.
