I drew my first maze in 1998, but the work didn't really find its voice until 2007. That's when the style locked in: dense, hand-drawn, threaded with detail. Since then, mazes I've drawn have shown up in print magazines, online publications, corporate promotions, and album covers.

In 2018 I drew Maine as a maze, just for fun. One state turned into two, and over the next six years that grew into United Mazes of America, a 113-page hand-drawn art book covering all 50 U.S. states plus D.C. and Puerto Rico. It funded on Kickstarter in eight hours in 2024 and shipped to homes and classrooms nationwide.

The iPad app is the continuation of that work. Same hand-drawn art, plus pencil-traced gameplay, hidden landmarks, trivia, and themed historical Adventures that grow over time.

Every maze is hand-drawn, either with ink and colored pencils on paper or digitally with a tablet and stylus. They're real puzzles, not decorative. Every one is solvable.

About the “Maze Dojo” name.

Dojo in Japanese means "place of the way." A dojo is a space for immersive learning or meditation, and for me, creating mazes is a meditative practice. Maze Dojo is where the focus and the craft meet, and it's been the umbrella for my maze work since long before United Mazes of America existed.
