What you might not know is how it got started. Yes, I’m a long time LEGO fan and was lucky to have many sets as a child, which were then passed on to, and expanded by, my brother, and have since then been lost as we both left our home country many years ago. But my current collection started for a very different reason, and that’s that I’m not a good illustrator.
I began buying individual LEGO minifigures to use in creative pitches I would do for clients while running my experience design and conference consulting practice. When pitching an experience to a new client, I sometimes had to hire a graphic designer and an illustrator to transform into images the concept I wanted to present, but this often proved quite expensive. So I had the idea of taking photos of minifigures representing the people involved in the experience and explain the scene using captions and speech bubbles.
