It's been a year since I went to the recruitment workshop in Billund which landed me my dream job! I haven't been making YouTube video, but I have been building MORE THAN EVER. Can't wait to show you what I have been up to.

Since I was a kid, my dream job has always been to be a LEGO designer. Everything I’ve done has been geared toward that goal. I chose a bachelor’s in visual communication, knowing it would help me get into the Master’s in Play @dskd_play in Denmark, a step toward working at The LEGO Group. I was thrilled when I got a job at my local LEGO Store in 2018, and even more excited when I joined TLG’s social media team as a student worker. But nothing topped the call I received last week at a LEGO convention, offering me a role as a LEGO model designer.😁

I’ve been building all my life– 25 years. Star Wars inspired me early on, it was a perfect blend with LEGO bricks. I joined online LEGO communities, sharing my builds on YouTube, where I was inspired by creators like @solid_brix and his Kashyyyk MOC series. Later, I joined @rebellug and attended conventions across Europe, starting with @brickingbavaria in 2017. Through these events, I met talented builders and friends who pushed my skills to new heights.

When I moved to Denmark two years ago, I focused on my studies and completed my master’s with top grades, earning an award for my thesis, developed with TLG and my mentor @nicolaas_vas . I remember jumping like crazy when @ashtemple told me I got a student job at TLG. Working as an unofficial builder for TLG’s social media was an amazing experience where I met incredible people. I also did some side quests at LEGO Education, Creative Play Lab and LEGO House.

The hiring process was long, but the final workshop was thrilling. I remember being a teen watching videos of @justinramsden participating in the workshop, so actually being in one was surreal.

I couldn’t have made it here without the support of so many people—childhood friends, school friends, convention mates, my grandma, brother and sister, and most of all, my parents, who always believed in me and supported me to chase my dream. Last, but not least I must thank all of YOU for supporting me through the years, without you I wouldn’t have gotten here. Love 🫶

I’m so excited for the next step and hopefully one day I can make sets that inspire children, as I was inspired all those years ago.♥️ #lego #dreamjob

I have officially graduated from university, finishing the two years 'Design for Play' master course at Designskolen Kolding. I finished with the best grades and won a scolarship for my master thesis I developed together with The LEGO Group. Now I'm planning to stay in Denmark and keep creating new, exciting play solutions, engaging content and hopefully some cool Star Wars sets at LEGO DESiGN.

I also have some more time now and I want to come back to making YouTube videos and reaching 100k subscribers. What would you like to see me do going forward here on YouTube? Thanks for the support in my absence <3

Let’s have some fun and be creative! Join me in rebuilding LEGO sets and showing your creations. I want to see what great MOCs you end up with ONLY by using pieces from either of the 2 sets shown in the post. One afternoon when you get the time sit down and try it out.

Share your results ON INSTAGRAM and I will chose one favorite rebuild from each set and award the winners with some cool prizes. I am also curious about your process and ideas behind the build so maybe share some of those in the final post.
If you have any questions drop them in the comments. Get inspired and get bricking!

UPDATE= Hey there, it's been far too long! As some might know, I've spent the last 10 months working in Billund at the LEGO Group as a student worker which has been such a great experience. Here is a fun video of what I do: www.instagram.com/p/CvPU86Vs5ZN/

Besides that I have been quite busy with my studies which are coming to an end this summer, so I haven't found that much time to make videos, even though I have built a few MOCs (mostly for LEGO). Here is my most recent (personal) one: www.instagram.com/p/C1mwRXhLWq2/

I am currently building a new MOC and plan to get back into it all more this year. So don't give up on the channel. Videos take a while to make, but they will come, however not in the near future.

One more thing I have done is stared my graphic design Instagram account where I show all the other stuff I do besides MOCs, including my "LEGOprints", screen printing, product design etc. So it would mean a lot if you could take a look at that: www.instagram.com/luka_grkovic_design/

Thanks for the read and support until now, please stick around and the best is yet to come! ;) <3
