The bloke behind the bricks
I grew up building LEGO® and as a teenager reconnected with a medium that became an creative refuge from the computer screen. Today as an established LEGO® builder after years of refining the design of models and construction of sets in the authentic style single handedly (with some help from my friends and family of course).
Though I once envisioned a future in recording engineering, life had other plans, steering me towards the visual arts and graphics. Veering from the conventional academic path, I chose the route of hands-on experience, immersing myself in the technical and creative sides of design.

An interview with me from 2014 by Electronic Beats, part of their Slices series.
When this video went up it propelled my small operation in a proper business – I received over 100 pre-orders for my Custom Lego® Turntbales sets, overnight!
The Back Story
It all started with a singular Lego piece—an inspiration to recreate the iconic Technics 1200mk2 turntable. When my DJ friends laid eyes on it, their excitement and subsequent demand for building guides became the unexpected nudge towards entrepreneurship.
Given Berlin’s vibrant dance music scene, my Lego® renditions of classic equipment gained rapid traction. Publications like Electronic Beats and Mixmag spotlighted my work, propelling me into a whirlwind of pre-orders and design challenges.
