Hello there. I’m Jens Kronvold Frederiksen. I'm the Design Director for LEGO and have been designing LEGO® Star Wars™ sets for the past 20 years. Ask Me Anything!

Hi Reddit! My name is Jens Kronvold Frederiksen. I am the Creative Director for LEGO Star Wars and the leader of the awesome LEGO Star Wars Design team. I started as model designer in 1998. The first project I was involved in was [Rock Raiders](https://lego.fandom.com/wiki/Rock_Raiders). Launched in 1999, I designed two models for that theme - [4940](https://lego.fandom.com/wiki/4940_Granite_Grinder) and [4990](https://lego.fandom.com/wiki/4990_Rock_Raiders_HQ) - . Soon after I started on LEGO Star Wars, making the sketch model for the [Y-Wing in set 7150](https://lego.fandom.com/wiki/7150_TIE_Fighter_%26_Y-Wing). I have been working on LEGO Star Wars ever since! All these years later, I am still an avid builder and build all the products we create at least once! Beside model design, I have also sculpted many new elements, like animals, minifigure wigs, hats, and alien minifigures heads.

A couple of years ago I was a guest speaker at a design conference in UK called Offset where you can learn more about me: http://www.iloveoffset.com/jens-kronvold-frederiksen/
