- 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. The design brief simply asked for a truck with a “crash function.” I explored multiple techniques to pull this off, like a seesaw that would pop the windshield off. But, they weren’t conducive to car play; too finicky and fragile. Thankfully, we worked together to develop the slider function that would pop off the hood. I still get a kick out of it when I roll my copy into a wall or ram something into it. It can just go flying.

- 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. Oh my goodness, what a fun process. This was my first time really trying to capture the image of an existing design. It actually took me back to my brief education in automotive design, identifying the profile that makes the vehicle so iconic and distinct. Aside from capturing the silhouette, I also wanted to make sure, as this set was more for adults, that one could place a realistic amount of Minifigures inside this vehicle. At first this meant I designed a HUGE concept build, and it really dwarfed our already disproportional Minifigure. Bringing it back down to a six-wide build helped it feel more like a LEGO-fied version of the Ford Explorer, something people could put in their LEGO cities, because something else we wanted to ensure, was that every major aspect of this set could be played with.
I also had good fun bringing the T-Rex to life. Similar to 76940, this version of Rexy needed stability outside of the support she got when placed on the base. It was a bit of a whacky time finding the right combination of joints and rock solid construction that would let her stand on her own AND stand dynamically on top of that crushed Explorer. One of the more fulfilling aspects of this design I enjoyed designing is the head. Finding those slopes and bows that form the final result was a delight. I, personally, like that we mount the eyes so they’re at an angle, so she can actually see what’s ahead of her, whether or not her vision is based on movement.
This set is a love letter to one of the most thrilling sequences in cinematic history. I am so happy I got to contribute to it.

- 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.

- 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.

- We all love a solid, pocket-sized dino, and the Pyroraptor is probably one of the cooler dinosaurs to depict in this minimal form, using a bright combination of colors as well as slopes, bows, and angled elements. This build also pairs very well with the Dilophosauraus magazine build I was responsible for.

- So, I really enjoy designing LEGO cars. Since the Ford Explorer in 76956, it is my goal that every six-wide vehicle, I work on, can seat minifigures side by side. For 76424, it was almost the most important thing to accomplish since it would be the key detail to differentiate it from its predecessors. This lead to a lot of exploration to find the best plate layering sequence for stability and to match our source material as well as we have before. But, that’s not the only aspect I’m excited about.
We have a new element to introduce; the new 1x2x2/3, the grated slope with out the grates. I cannot wait to see how builders use this piece to their advantage. It’s something I’ve wanted for a long time from the LEGO Group, and I’m thrilled a set I worked on is the one to debut it.
First and foremost, this is a compact vehicle for the kids who enjoy rolling cars around, perhaps making them go “whoosh” in the sky. Although, there’s a disclaimer; the invisibility booster may be faulty.

- Based off of its depiction from Philosopher’s Stone, this fully enclosed Hut was a real learning opportunity. Building walls on an angle and creating a convincing circular roof proved a good challenge to learn new techniques and systems that exist within our own. My colleagues really came through, showing me these new ways of thinking.
Developing the interior involved analysis of movie clips and figuring out a way to bring in the colors of each Hogwarts House. The expansion feature of the play area took a few iterations, but once the walls were figured out, the three section concept came to be. On top of this, George Gilliat was developing 76432, and we put in two spots at the front of Hagrid’s home that can connect to those set’s different sections.
76428 was a major development milestone in my career at the LEGO Group, being an incredibly collaborative design process. I cannot wait to learn more.

- Maybe this is an odd thing to say, but this is my favorite set I designed for this year. I really like spiders…from a distance, haha! But, for real, I think they’re so freaky and cool in design. So, getting to design a new iteration of Aragog was really fun.
I grew up mostly building and playing with smaller scale products, so I really take to designing these kinds of sets. I really tried to emulate the anatomy of a spider as best I could, in this style. Adding details, like his pedipalps, really helps it feel a bit more authentic. On top of that, collaborating with one of our graphic designers to create a printed bow for Aragog’s face really brings the guy to life. That movie face of his is so memorable. But wait, there’s a little more.
There’s that little bit of a Forbidden Forest to go with 76432. When we started designing this set, making it an add on to the FF set was a no brainer. But, we made some specific choices. 76432 has glow in the dark elements and a specific lay out for it clips. To convey how deep in the forest the characters go to find Aragog, we flipped the clips, and removed the glow in the dark pieces. So, when you line up this FF bit with the rest of them, the “back” of the module will show a web between two branches.
I love it when lines have sets that interact with each other, so this wave 2 of 2024 is among my favorite I got to be a part of.

- The year 2023 held a lot of challenges for me. Give me a spider or car build any day, but a rounded hut or a portion of a castle? I’m gonna be daunted. The Great Hall, much like 76428, offered some great challenges for me to figure out, mainly structure. As a fan, I never built big, hence my comfortability in the aforementioned smaller sets. So, from the start, I was intimidated by this project. That all being said, I am very satisfied with where we ended up. I extend a major thank you to the team for the support they gave me, showing me new techniques and reminding me to embrace the power of the LEGO System.
“Simple, yet effective” is my take on this depiction of the Great Hall. By going to this scale, we could fit in more detail through very consumable build techniques. The design itself is also segmented to make it a modular kind of build that a family or friends could break up and build together, making a proverbial voltron of Great Halls, including small rooms that slot into the rock formation or become play areas of their own.
The bottom rooms came from an intention to provide players with extra play areas as well customization options. They’re built to be vignette-like, with their walls being more abstract vs “realistic,” like 76431, and their ability to open, providing the mentioned play areas. With this direction, we feel the rooms can act stand alone, to the side, creating an action scene depicting the troll, or a study session in the Hufflepuff room. Then, if you feel inclined to change your Hall, you can swap out the Common room or Bathroom with Potions Class.
76435 is the true start to our “most detailed Hogwarts” (play set edition), and I think fans are in for a treat. We really put a lot of effort into this new direction, and I hope it comes across.

- This set was unexpected. The LEGO Group was looking for a way to pay homage to one of Harry Potter’s most iconic characters, and George Gilliatt put together this very fun sketch build. It became a spiritual successor to his Dobby set; a stylized depiction of its titular characters, and I had a blast figuring out all of its components.
76443 was a unique challenge to tackle. It is THE most different set than what I am used to designing. Not only did it have a brick built set of characters, it also had a proportionally scaled motorcycle to figure out. I’ve never built on of those up until this project, and it was very satisfying figuring out what one needs to be stable and buildable. The hardest part, actually, was putting the front wheel and spokes together, where I learned about the different levels of support the spokes needed so they didn’t splay when pushed down on. Stability is paramount in our design schemes, and was something I worked tirelessly to make sure every component could be built stably and individually on top of finding the look of our set’s heroes.
As stated, this set is a follow up to the Dobby set from a few years back in that it’s not intended to be a 1:1 depiction of Hagrid, Harry, and Hedwig. It’s meant to evoke these characters in a thrilling sequence, but in a form more like an abstract art style. It was a real balancing act, trying to find the right brick combinations, and it took a lot of deliberating between team members. I was trying my best to avoid the uncanny valley, when something that is meant to look human, doesn’t quite meet the mark. So, I pushed us to distill these characters to their most basic form, like illustrative posters I’ve seen for Harry Potter where his face is just his glasses and scar.
At the end of the day, I am happy I got to design this set. It tested me not only as a designer but a working professional, and I think we’ve come up with something that is fun to build, roll, and looks nice as a part of any fan’s collection.
76448: Fawkes: Dumbledore's Phoenix
- Designer
- Atticus
- Bricklist notes
- Fawkes the Phoenix is a stylized interpretation of the titular character. It’s a follow up to 76425, Hedwig the Owl. It was a very good practice in collaboration, where I wanted to make him as emotable as possible, within the guidelines set by its predecessor, putting something together that had all of the right articulation, but needed more finessing. This is where our collaboration as a team and partner came into play.
Through design meetings, juggling people’s comments, we elevated the first sketch to what I identify as a full character. The specific points of articulation achieves so much. It’s in these meetings we also figured out his props. Like Hedwig, Fawkes comes with a set of supporting props; the Sorting Hat, Sword of Gryffindor, and a reborn version. These were chosen based off their significance to the character, and we made sure to design them so he could carry the two items like he does in Chamber of Secrets. You can also use the extra elements to modify the build so he can wear the Sorting Hat.
I really enjoy this set. I have him on my desk, one wing out, beak open, and head slightly tilted, and it just reads so well. It’s like he’s saying “hello, good morning!” I hope people see the same thing when they have him in their hands, perched on their fingers, or chilling on their desk.
76458: Thestral Family
- Designer
- Atticus
- Bricklist notes
- This build was a real passion for me. I gravitate toward eerie designs, and I really appreciate what these creatures represented in their first appearance, a teaching moment about judging things based off looks. Their macabre nature is just right up my alley, and it was something I was dying to design since joining the Harry Potter design team.
It was one of my earliest concepts when I joined, actually, but it was not meant to be for the first round of relaunch sets. Between that time, the concept was bounced between designers, lending itself to the LEGO Group’s collaborative nature. Aaron Newman introduced the idea of the folding wings and the element used for the adult Thestral’s thighs. It was important to me that, no matter where the look of the build landed, we convey these creatures are nurturing and caring despite their skeletal and dark complexion.
To that end, the juvenile Thestral always accompanied its mother from concept to shelf. It helps convey so much, and by providing a small portion of the Forbidden Forest (also compatible with the section from 76434 and 76432) one can tell a story of a parent helping its offspring explore the world it’s come into. I hope people can better admire these creatures as I do, and have a good time building and playing with them.
