About me

I have been working for LEGO since 2006, but I only just recently started as a junior designer in the TECHNIC team (and I love it!). Before I used to work in the consumer service department of LEGO – officially one of the best in the world - thanks to the amazing people working there. In fact I am an educated historian, but that is a completely different story...

I like to play basketball, table tennis, frisbee and a lot of other sports. In the winter I am a snowboarder. I also love traveling or reading a good book.

My favorite product

TECHNIC of course, but I love lots of sets from all the different LEGO product lines!

Best Creation

I haven't had the time to actually create any TECHNIC models yet! But I think some of the best creations ever are the Bulldozer #8275 and the older Air Tech Claw Rig #8868.

Most challenging creation

Trying to create a cool looking model that is constructed according to the rules of good building.
