Amy, a senior design manager at Lego, now runs a team of 10
designers at Lego's headquarters in Denmark. The company has been one of the
world's most popular toy-makers and last year saw its fastest sales growth in
five years. The "dream job" in Denmark led to the opportunity to be a
judge on a TV show in the US.
As a child growing up in a village near Glasgow, she never
dreamed of being a fashion designer or a toy designer.
She was not a Lego fan as a child. "I played with Lego
with my brother when we were kids, "she said. "When we were really
little, we had the big box of bricks (积木). But as I got a little bit older, I
Lego. I felt there wasn't anything interesting for me. "
"It wasn't until I joined the company that I really got
back into it. But we take that into account and think how we can create Lego
experiences for kids, adults, and everyone over the world, so that everyone can
find something that is related to them. Every time I got a project, I would
always change it to something fun, playful and creative. I always loved being
creative and also really loved maths."
And her advice to new Lego designers was to get building.
"Creativity is the key and being hands-on with the bricks," she said.
"Whenever you can get ideas out, just do it. Whenever you can get your
hands on the bricks, build, build, build."
"And if you are picking your education, I think
certainly pick something that is based on design. The more creative, the better
and we are open to everyone."
