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 my stories on moving walkways or garbage disposals on 99% Invisible or read my reporting on cicada enthusiasts and death cafés in The Christian Science Monitor. My crosswords have appeared in 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.
