I also love design and graphic design.


K: Do you remember the day when you got your first LEGO set? Which set was it? And How old were you when you started playing with LEGO bricks?

A: Honestly I don’t remember when I got my first LEGO set, I remember playing with my older brother’s seventies LEGO City and Technic sets. I started playing with LEGO bricks when I was four or five years old. My very first memories were also linked to Fabuland theme that I really was fond of (I still own a lot of characters).
