Focus: Lee Walder’s background in I.T., Science, and Education.

Every great engineering project begins with a problem that needs solving. For Lee Walder, a Bristol-based expert with a career forged in the rigorous worlds of Information Technology, Science, and Education, that problem was the "disposable" nature of modern puzzles.

Living in Bristol—a city synonymous with iconic engineering like the Clifton Suspension Bridge—Lee was used to things being built to last and designed with precision. When he looked at the landscape of digital and print-at-home puzzles, he didn't see engineering; he saw "filler." He saw Word Searches with no thematic soul and Sudoku grids that required guesswork rather than logic.

The "Working Things Out" Philosophy Drawing on his background in I.T., Lee realised that the same logic used to debug a complex script or teach a scientific principle could be applied to puzzle architecture. Redlaw Puzzles was born not just as a business, but as a mission to create "Content-Rich" puzzles that respect the solver's intelligence.

Lee’s experience in education taught him that the "Eureka!" moment is the most valuable part of learning. By founding Redlaw, he brought that philosophy to the general public. Whether it’s a child tackling a 2D Maze or an adult deconstructing a Word Scramble, the goal is the same: providing a structured environment where one can successfully "work things out."

The Etsy Evolution Starting on Etsy allowed Redlaw Puzzles to connect directly with a global community. By offering high-resolution digital files, Lee ensured that his "Bristol-engineered" puzzles could reach homes from the UK to the US instantly. The origin of Redlaw is rooted in the belief that even a simple hobby deserves the scrutiny of a scientific mind.
