Not Just Toying with Childhood Favourite

2007 BA (Hons) in Management Graduate

William Wong Hung Hei

At the age of four, William was fascinated by Lego products. Patrol car was a perfect birthday gift and police chase his favourite game.

As a schoolkid, William had neither the money nor space at home for a train set, a hospital unit, or a fire station. He played with a few small items during summer holidays. Other times, Lego catalogues were enough to catch and hold his imagination.

In his teens, William was fully occupied with schoolwork, football, basketball, electronic games and all kinds of extracurricular activities. Lego bricks and pieces remained out of sight, under his bed, but never really out of mind.

At university, some part-time job earnings went on William's favourite Lego series.

Mr William Wong Hung Hei graduated from PolyU with the BA (Hons) in Management degree in 2007, the year when he joined other Lego fans and started developing Lego games and My Own Creations (MOCs).

In just a few years, William had organised and showcased his MOCs at over 20 exhibitions in Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China and Europe. His works include Ferris wheel, France TGV station, Icebreaker Xuelong, Japan Bullet Train, Japan Railway Kyoto station, Japan series of KiHa Locomotives, Panama Canal, and Taiwan High Speed Rail station.

To engage himself fully in promoting creativity, William quitted as strategic planning analyst with the Hong Kong Tourism Board in early 2013. He is now Lego Ambassador at Legend Bricks, linking the Danish company with fans in Asia. He is immensely enthusiastic about keeping his childhood dream alive while applying the knowledge and skills he acquired at university to build a colourful career.
