How it started
Ying Zhi: It began with a gift. My mum gave me the Lego Ideas Treehouse, a cosy little world I wanted to live in. I never knew bricks could do curves and nature like that.
After that, I tried to design my own...but I didn't know how much expertise it required, so I failed badly.
Sometimes, a brick doesn't exist in the colour you need. Or you don't know its name so you sketch it and beg reverse image search for mercy. It took years but the day it finally worked felt like unlocking a dream superpower. We've been there so you do not have to be.
The passion
Ying Zhi: Sometimes at 3am, an idea forms in my head, and I just want to build it. Real life runs on logic, but here it's just pure creativity.
My favourite build will always be my first MOC (My Own Creation), a cosy seaport full of weird animals, from chickens to penguins. I love the sea and a custom light kit makes it glow. I put it by my bedside so every night when I go to sleep, it reminds me how this journey began.

Full size, the same ABS plastic, steady colours and a firmer grip. We have done the testing, so you do not have to.
