I began learning what it's like to be a contestant on LEGO Masters and beyond when I interviewed Jason and Rachel DeVries who competed on LEGO Masters New Zealand.

Part of my goal in figuring out what life as a LEGO Master is like is learning the differences between the shows, be it LEGO Masters Australia or LEGO Masters UK. l-r: mel brown & jermaine gardner, source - legomasters In this installment of Life After LEGO Masters, I had the opportunity to speak with Mel Brown, a contestant on season 1 of LEGO Masters USA (2020), and winner of LEGO Masters: Celebrity Holiday Bricktacular in 2022.
