I was commissioned by the Wisconsin Center District to create their long-planned expansion of the Baird Center in LEGO form, to coincide with the opening of the real-life expansion in mid-May 2024.
It was designed in a way for him to build and create the convention center himself, replete with printed instructions. As it’s meant to be a display piece, there’s no interior design.
It landed so well, that I was later re-engaged to create 15 more of these for future gifts, AND build it live with another LEGO Masters contestant from United States’ Season 4, Nealita Nelson.
In late August 2024, I was invited alongside Nealita to build the Baird Center live at Connect Marketplace at the Visit Milwaukee booth - watch the time lapse here.
