How can playful design solutions create a better workplace? 🪄 Meet Rasmus.
Rasmus is passionate about helping people work together in a playful way. He does so by designing internal systems that are both functional and enjoyable to use. His creative, innovative approach takes a child’s eye view to tackling a range of complex challenges.
“When I was studying, I dreamt of working at the LEGO Group. I even bought my house because it was within reasonable travelling distance to the LEGO® Campus in Billund. Fortunately, the dream became a reality and now I make cool stuff for the internet that helps my colleagues work together in a more playful way. My role is all about minimising complexity and maximising empowerment."
“As a designer, I’m comfortable with projects that require creativity and innovation. It’s down to me to develop experience and product visions for the future while working alongside a range of internal teams. Our starting point is always to create the best-case scenario. Then we just push the boundaries of what we thought we could achieve and see where we end up. This can be an exciting journey."
“Saving time and money while making work more fun is a fulfilling way to spend a working day. My project to save thousands of colleagues one minute per day started out as drawing boards. In my first two weeks with the business, it caught the attention of senior managers. That was a defining career moment. It’s great to know that I’m creating solutions that enable colleagues to focus on our core mission of inspiring and developing the builders of tomorrow.”
Rasmus works in a diverse and supportive team that values his unique perspective.
"My closest colleagues and people leaders acknowledge me for who I am and how I feel. That empowers me to do things with much greater confidence. The business has also been incredibly supportive from a wellbeing perspective. My people leader, for instance, identified when I needed mental health support and, since then, I’ve been fully supported by a social advisor and external psychologist. This has helped me become better at work and most importantly a greater dad and husband when I get home."
Rasmus is constantly learning and growing through internal courses, challenging projects, and working alongside his colleagues.
"I learn the most from my interactions with the highly skilled people around me. I also try to keep a playful mindset in everything I do - whether it’s to create new playful methods for workshops or rethinking usability with this in mind. A great example of this was when I resolved a month-long discussion by designing a landing page inspired by children's drawings. Simple is best."
“I’m proud to be part of a company that values play and uses it to make a positive impact on the world. It’s an exciting thing to be part of so I look forward to many more years of playful innovation here.”
