Her Story
From one set to the national stage
Every step verified, every word true, because the real story is better than marketing.

One LEGO® set with her son
During the family's travel nurse years, thirteen moves in two years, Emilee bought her first set to build with her son. It didn't stay casual.
"When we had to get a four-bedroom when we only have two kids, because I had to have a room full of LEGO®, is when I realized this passion is more than just a hobby."
2021
The first TRA
Building in cars, hotels, and Airbnbs meant scattered bricks and lost instructions. Emilee's fix: a serving tray, craft supplies, and a dollop of super glue. It worked, and The TRA Company was born.

FOX slides into her DMs
LEGO® Masters casting found Emilee through her Instagram builds. Season 4: twelve teams, a $100,000 prize, and Team Pink (Emilee & Kelly) building under network TV deadlines, all the way to the semifinals, including their 12 hour "Ladybug Flight" roller coaster build.
Today
Building every single day
You'll find Emilee creating for 22,000+ followers, building at Arizona Brick Co. in Chandler, and refining the TRA, the tray built from everything she's learned about how builders really work.
