If you don’t expect to be wrong, you won’t come up with anything creative. It’s not failure, it’s a creative iterative process.
Show #726 Amie is a maker of things. Her background is in Game Programming and Simulation and she started her career at Marvel Studios, working on Captain America and X-Men Destiny. She later transitioned to Research and Development for development work on the Xbox and Playstation. She also plays with LEGO and was recently on FOX's LEGO Masters show. She is also an active 3D printer and cosplayer. She talks to Scott about all she pulls all this cross disciplinary knowledge into a life fueled with enthusiasm and making things!
With LEGO Masters airing on Fox, our show has become one the top shows in the US with over 8 million viewer each episode(it's still so surreal). I figured it was time to do a ask me anything Q&A for all the new followers and fans! Ask me anything.
