LEGO designer Marcos Bessa has left the LEGO Group

LEGO designer Marcos Bessa has left the LEGO Group to move on to new ventures after 14 years of designing sets, including some notable builds.

At the end of 2024, Marcos Bessa confirmed on Instagram that he would be moving on from being a LEGO designer this year to become Pandora's new Design Development Portfolio Manager. Today on Instagram, Marcos has confirmed that he has officially left the LEGO Group, leaving behind a legacy of amazing LEGO builds for us to admire for years to come.

You can find the full portfolio of Marcos' work at the LEGO Group on his website, but notable inclusions over the past 14 years include 10236 Ewok Village, 76042 The SHIELD Helicarrier, 75827 Firehouse Headquarters and 71040 Disney Castle.

Towards the end of his work at the LEGO Group, Marcos worked on LEGO Harry Potter and the likes of 75978 Diagon Alley as well as 76405 Hogwarts Express Collectors' Edition before moving to work on Disney sets for the 100th anniversary of the company. Whether anything he has designed has yet to be revealed and released is not known. Either way, there's no denying that Marcos has earned his place in LEGO history.

Just as Marcos leaves the LEGO Group for new adventures at Pandora, at least two fans have joined the ranks of LEGO designers this year.
