Building the LEGO® Dream

What is it like to be a LEGO® designer? How do you become one?

Building the LEGO® Dream follows five people from different walks of life and different corners of the planet as they answer those questions and settle into the reality of being a LEGO designer.

Having unknowingly changed the course of their lives when they took on the challenge of submitting a LEGO Ideas project, their journeys speak to the power of making space for your passion.

In some very sad news that came out last night, BrickJournal founder Joe Meno has passed away after fighting cancer the past few years. For over 20 years, Joe’s work help showcase the LEGO fan community in the BrickJournal as well as at LEGO conventions. He was also heavily involved with FIRST LEGO League working with elementary school teams. I was lucky enough to meet Joe a few times at San Diego Comic Con and he was always fun to talk to, not just about LEGO but about life stuff in general. Joe will be missed.
