Here’s yet another reason we want to work at LEGO

A recent interview with a LEGO Designer has given us a look into what it’s like to work for the LEGO Group – and we want in.

Speaking to Brickset, the designer of the latest LEGO Modular Building, Anderson Grubb, dropped a little tidbit about what it’s like to work at the LEGO Group that has got us scrolling through the company’s LinkedIn page once again.

When asked how much other designers contributed little details to 10312 Jazz Cub, Grubb replied that it used to be common for designers to walk by and leave notes on Jamie Berard’s (the original creator of the Modular Buildings) desk to offer suggestions. While it happens less often nowadays, there’s still a lot of collaboration going on between different designers and employees.

“I remember having conversations with Mike Psiaki about the best way to build this triangle for the awning outside the club,” Grubb explained. “Of course, Mike has always got something to say about LEGO triangles!”

“Also, I remember I came in one day and noticed that the top and bottom of the Jazz Club sign looked different,” the designer added. “It turned out that Chris McVeigh had stopped by and reassembled them using the sausage piece! It looked perfect, and including the sausage in different colours has become a bit of a meme.”

The atmosphere of collaboration and teamwork is exactly what we would expect from a company like the LEGO Group – and just another reason why we’ll forever want to work there. Relocation to Billund, anyone?

I write about all the very best fandoms – and that means LEGO, of course. Spending so much time looking at and talking about LEGO sets is dangerous for my bank balance, but the LEGO shelves are thriving. You win some, you lose some.
