Hi everyone! 👋
I’m a product design student from Hungary, and I’m currently working on a project exploring how LEGO builders find inspiration when they run out of ideas or want to create something new from the bricks they already have.
My goal is to design a playful, physical tool that encourages creativity, helps people overcome creative blocks, and inspires them to discover new possibilities with their existing LEGO pieces — especially older bricks that might otherwise remain unused.
I know there are already apps and online platforms that provide building ideas, but I’d like to explore an alternative that reduces screen time and encourages hands-on experimentation, playful thinking, and unexpected combinations.
I’d love to hear about your experiences!
💡What do you usually do when you don’t know what to build?
💡Do you use apps or websites for inspiration, or do you prefer experimenting on your own?
💡Have you ever created something completely unexpected from random LEGO pieces?
💡What would help you come up with new ideas?
I’ve also put together a short questionnaire for my research. If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate it if you could fill it out!
