About Us

Oakland Puzzle Company is a community-centered, mission-driven jigsaw puzzle brand, manufacturer, and retail store. We produce our puzzles in a small factory in Oakland’s Eastlake neighborhood, working closely with local artists and organizations to create puzzles that celebrate and promote their work. Our focus is on high-quality products, a local supply chain whenever possible, and supporting other small, ethical businesses.

At present, we do not have the physical or financial capacity to manufacture 1,000-piece puzzles in-house. Beginning in 2025, we partnered with a socially and environmentally responsible manufacturer in China to meet this demand. Our long-term goal is to bring this production to Oakland as we grow.

Our History

Dave and DeAnna Tibbs are multi-generational Bay Area residents who love Oakland. They worked for several years researching and planning the production of jigsaw puzzles in an effort to create the highest quality puzzles and an ethical and sustainable business.

We are grateful for the start-up support provided by Kevin Poorman, Larry Tessler, and Community Printers.

 

We are operating on unceded Ohlone land and encourage all to learn about Shuumi Land Tax and the rematriation of land in the East Bay.
