MY STORY

Welcome to Tips&Bricks!

My name is Alex and I'm the founder and manager of Tips&Bricks! I'm a 20 year old AFOL from the UK, currently working as a Business Management intern near London.

Like so many others, I had LEGO when growing up but I only discovered the online and professional LEGO® community in 2015 when I was 15. I was immediately hooked on custom building after seeing what the community was creating and wanted to create my own models. I looked around for help to take my builds to the next level but couldn't find a place to learn the techniques and tips I needed to build the models I wanted to.

That is when I started Tips&Bricks, as a method of becoming a better builder. Since then, I have been able to share this journey with builders from all over the world, exploring and explaining the very best techniques, MOCs and much more.

Now I'm privileged to have a fantastic team who run the blog alongside me, which has honestly been my favourite part of the whole thing, getting to know other passionate LEGO fans closely and working with them on a shared goal.
