I built this statue of Codey, a Salesforce character from their Trailhead learning platform, for Salesforce’s TrailheadX 2020 (TDX20) virtual event. At 2’ (60cm) tall and built from nearly 4,000 bricks, Codey is pretty huge!

Incredibly, the window of time between this statue’s conception and its final presentation was only a month. I had less than two weeks during that period to complete the design work for the whole model, since midway through the project’s month-long timeline—as if things couldn’t get any crazier!—I moved cross-country. During this project, I worked with some really cool people, old friends and new; with their help, I accomplished Codey even against an extremely tight deadline. I’m so proud to finally get to share the fruits of this crazy, fun, and growthful whirlwind of a project!
