Sophie Helg
Hi! I'm Sophie. You may know me as a fast Canadian speed puzzler, but did you know that:
I can fluently speak German, French and English since a young age, though French is my main language.
I started speed puzzling in 2023, at a time when I needed some change, and found purpose through it.
Before speed puzzling, I used to do around 2-3 puzzles a year. Now I do 2-3 puzzles a week and it's still not enough.
I work as a drafter for a structural engineering firm and view the drawings I do as completing a puzzle.
One of my favorite puzzle brand is Art & Fable, for it's images that are so different from other brands.
When I'm not puzzling, you can find me gardening or watching tv reality shows / k-dramas.
Some of the hobbies I had before speedpuzzling include: Reading horror books, reading manga / watching anime, sewing costumes, cooking / baking, pottery.
I used to do puzzle competitions to try to win. Now I go to competitions to meet my friends!
