Founder & Head Punster

Nia Okafor

Nia started MrPuns as a spreadsheet of jokes she kept sending to the same four friends. The spreadsheet got out of hand. She writes most of the pun collections, draws the cards, and maintains a strict policy that every pun on the site was typed by a human who thought it was funny at the time.
