I'm a 25-year-old South African working in international development. I'm delighted to make my New York Times debut. Constructing started as a lockdown hobby last year, and it's been a pleasure learning about the extremely passionate crossword world.
I'm particularly happy that this puzzle is my debut because I've loved flags for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, my parents bought me a "Flags of the World" card game, and I spent hours asking anyone who would listen to quiz me on which flags belong to who. I also love grids with a graphic element, so I'm pleased to have brought that in as well.
I hope you all enjoy!
PS: If there are other (South) African constructors reading this, I would love to connect!
