How to become a designer at LEGO

LEGO Fantastic Tree House 71461 Dreamzzz LEGO DREAMZZZ @ 2TTOYS LEGO €. 88.99 Becoming a Model Designer at The LEGO Group

Being a LEGO® Model Designer is rewarding and a lot of fun! You get to travel and meet new people. One day you could be building an 8-foot replica of Batman™ out of LEGO® bricks and the next day you could be working on a new attraction at LEGOLAND®! Can you imagine a cooler job?

Most LEGO® Model Designers go to university and study 3D art.

Some also have backgrounds in industrial design, architecture, carpentry, theatre design and even sculpture.

If you are interested in becoming a designer, the best thing to do is to play with LEGO® bricks as much as possible. Try to build a realistic model using only standard bricks. When we meet people who want to become designers, we often ask them to build a small head out of LEGO® bricks in just four hours. It is not as easy as it sounds!

Once you get the hang of building real things, try mixing things up using your imagination. Get comfortable thinking about ideas: what works, what doesn't, and how can you turn weaknesses into strengths?

The more skills you have, the better your ideas will be.

science and engineering are important to understand how things work. English helps you explain why your idea is important, and business skills help you figure out if your idea will help you retire as a millionaire. Almost any subject is useful!
