Amy Corbett turned her childhood passion for creating into a design job and a US TV role as a 'brickmaster' judge.
From childhood dreams of fashion design to judging an American TV competition, it has been a "rollercoaster" career for Scottish designer Amy Corbett.While the coronavirus pandemic stalled leisure travel, Amy swapped her office in Denmark for a TV studio to present Lego Masters USA.
The company has been one of the world's most popular toymakers and last year saw its fastest sales growth in five years, helped by locked-down families buying bigger Lego sets they could make together. "It's a big jump from going behind the scenes in the office to being on camera and on national TV but I've really enjoyed it."Lego Masters USA, which is now being aired in the UK on Channel 4, is presented by Will Arnett, the voice of Lego Batman, with Amy and Jamie Berard as judges.
Her Scottish accent was a "bit of a concern" at first, but turned out to be a hit with the US audience. Living in Denmark and filming in the US during the pandemic meant working around travel restrictions with lots of quarantine, but she has been unable to return home to Scotland for a year and half. Her team launched Lego Dots last year, which uses tiny tiles to encourage two-dimensional pattern-making on products from wristbands to pen pots and picture frames.image copyrightAmy Corbett led the Lego Dots design team to create pattern building toys for children, including wrist bands
