- This is the very first thing I designed when I started working for the company. It helped ready me for the Lego processes. Here’s hoping kids enjoy the little guy.

- This is the first set I worked on when I started at Lego in 2020. It's a collaboration between me and Nick Vas and was my intro to the Lego Design process. I still get a kick out of the mechanism we came up with for the play function. I hope people have fun with it.

- A team up between me and Woon Tze for the design, this set was great to see come to fruition. (Early sketches were done alongside Nick Vas.)
I got to design something us Jurassic Park fans have wanted for a long time; the Ford Explorer. I also had good fun bringing the T-Rex to life. I hope fans enjoy what we came up with.

I did the sketch models for this, and refined it with guidance from Nicolas Vas. (One of my earlier tasks before I got more into the design groove.)

- This was such a unique design experience. With direction from Marco’s Bessa, 2022’s Harry Potter Advent Calendar was designed to be a celebration of the entire Harry Potter story. On top of designing two mini builds and selecting key characters from each movie installment, we also worked together to create a pvp style game to play once each build is constructed.
The inspiration for this idea came from my previous experience as a fan builder when I built micro scale buildings, Ollivander’s being one of the first builds I did for the calendar. From there, I began to consider what other key moments we could depict in a similar fashion.
The game is all about creating a timeline, plucking these iconic moments from a collective Pensieve. Using the top, players can either collect a moment, lose a moment, or steal a moment from their opponent. The first player to collect a moment from each movie is the winner. I hope people have fun playing the game together and enjoy the micro builds we came up with.

- With this being my favorite scene of the movie and creature of Pandora, getting to design this set was a blast. I went through a lot of iterations to find the most solid way to depict the slender form of the Ikran as well as wing frame shape to best display the amazing graphic design work.
A primary goal of the Avatar line was to create disPLAYable sets, hence why every set comes with an environment build and why this set depicts a portion of the Floating Mountains. It was a nice, spatial challenge finding the composition that can support two flying creatures.

- This set was a very interesting design challenge, as we had a real back and forth regarding the new element design. From the get go, we were put on the molded head direction, and that meant we had to collaborate to find right shape that would transition well into the brick-built body. in order to give the body the ability to bend like a whale, I took a note from 75936, looking at how the neck joint was designed, and I think having that bend in the body really helps bring the Tulkun to life.
Then, next to Payakan, we have the Crabsuit, a design I adored since it was first shared on their socials. We explored multiple sizes for it, and took this direction when I paired 6280337 with 4658974. The windshield shape forms well with the slopes. That became the core from which I could find what bows best form the shape of the vehicle. Plus, it can fold up to become a submarine. Now I can technically say I've designed a Transformers haha!

- This set was my primary responsibility for the Jurassic Park anniversary line. First of all, I want to say the premise of doing a whole line of Jurassic Park sets was a dream come true. Jurassic Park is the best blockbuster ever made. That is an opinion that cannot be swayed, so I felt extreme giddiness when I found out we were doing this. I think it presents a great opportunity for parents to bond with their kids over this great film. I did so many sketch models for what could make up this line. Not many made it through, haha, but, from day one, we knew we would do the iconic Jeep Wrangler.
76960 is, of course, meant to represent the scene where Grant and Sattler see their first living Dinosaur. However, we wanted to cover as much of the film as possible, so we crafted a tree that could exhibit three major moments. Aside from the Brach’s introduction, it also serves as the spot where Grant, and Lex and Tim feed one as well as where they discover the animals are breeding. But, wait, there’s more to this set than the tree.
Having previously designed the Ford Explorer, I really wanted a go at the Jeep Wrangler. First, similar to the Brach, we had multiple conversations about what it’s color scheme is. We came to 194 when we felt 05 was far too rich. Now, we also wanted a Jeep for the Nedry scene, but the age ranges were different per set. An interesting collaboration took place, where we worked to make sure key design elements were the same, while the builds are quite different. As a fan of both Jurassic Park and Lego toys, getting to create Lego play theme versions of the two iconic JP vehicles is surreal. I hope people have fun recreating so many JP moments or tell their own stories. Maybe this time EVERYBODY LIVES.

77013: Escape from the Lost Tomb
- Bricklist notes
- Escape from the Lost Tomb is my love letter to the Lego sets of my youth. I designed this set to be an homage to lines like Lego Studios and Lego Adventurers, as well as to the coveted Lego 2x4 brick.
I can just picture the Spielberg minifig standing to the side with his megaphone and camera, calling for certain play functions to activate so the scene can play out the way users want.
I watched this scene over and over again to mark down key play features that we needed. Of course, the falling Jackal Statue, but then, we should have the hole where snakes fall out, indicating to Indy there is a back room. And, once you break down the wall, what’s back there? The freaky mummy!
It is so cool to me, that I got to work on sets for these films that I love so much. Like a bunch of others, I was probably shown this movie at too young an age. But, the thrill of its adventure is so enrapturing, and my goal with this set is to give kids the ability to make their own thrilling adventure.
