GuideWho Are the Brickmasters on LEGO Masters?
If you have watched even one episode of LEGO Masters, you have seen the two judges standing at the end of every table, notebooks in hand, sizing up towers and dioramas with the calm authority of people who actually do this for a living. I get asked about them constantly, so let me clear it up. The Brickmasters are Amy Corbett and Jamie Berard, and they are not actors playing experts. They both hold real design jobs inside the LEGO Group.
So who exactly are the Brickmasters?
The Brickmasters on LEGO Masters are Amy Corbett and Jamie Berard. That is the official title the show gives them, and it is not a made up TV credential. Both are senior designers who work at LEGO Group headquarters when they are not sitting at the judging table, and the show leans on that real expertise to score builds for creativity, technique, and how well a model survives the dreaded box drop or wind test.
They have judged every season since LEGO Masters premiered in 2020, working alongside host Will Arnett. As of mid-2026, Arnett is set to step aside for season six, with Nick Cannon taking over hosting duties. But the judging chairs have stayed put. Amy and Jamie are the constant, season after season.

Amy Corbett: the Scottish design manager who worked on LEGO Friends
Amy Corbett is a senior design manager and product lead at the LEGO Group. She is Scottish, and she holds a Master of Engineering in Product Design Engineering from a joint program between the University of Glasgow and Glasgow School of Art, which she completed in 2012. She joined the LEGO Group that same year.
Her design credits inside the company include LEGO Friends, LEGO's Disney-themed sets, and LEGO DOTS. That range matters when you watch her judge, because it means she has spent her career thinking about color, storytelling, and how a set appeals to builders of every age, not just the technical mechanics of a build.
Jamie Berard: the AFOL who turned his hobby into a LEGO Group career
Jamie Berard is a senior design manager and creative lead at the LEGO Group, and his path there is a little different from Amy's. Before he ever worked for the company, he was an adult fan of LEGO, active in the New England LEGO Users Group, one of the many regional AFOL communities that trade sets, attend conventions, and build for fun rather than for a paycheck.
He joined the LEGO Group roughly two decades ago and has spent much of his career on two of the brand's most beloved adult-focused lines, LEGO Ideas and LEGO Architecture. That fan-turned-professional background is a big part of why his commentary on the show often sounds less like a corporate talking point and more like a genuine builder geeking out over a clever technique.

What the Brickmasters actually judge
Each episode, contestant teams build with real LEGO bricks pulled from a massive shared supply the show calls the Brick Pit. Wikipedia puts the season one supply at more than three million bricks, and while later seasons likely used similarly huge quantities, exact updated totals were not confirmed in the sources I checked, so I am sticking with the verified season one figure.
Amy and Jamie walk the table at the end of each challenge, evaluating builds on things like creative interpretation of the theme, technical building skill, and how well a model holds up under whatever stress test the episode throws at it. Their scores, combined with Will Arnett's read on the room, decide who goes home each week.
The Brickmasters are Amy Corbett and Jamie Berard, two working LEGO Group designers who bring real professional judgment to every episode. Amy's background spans LEGO Friends, Disney sets, and DOTS, while Jamie built his path through the AFOL community before landing on LEGO Ideas and Architecture, and together they have anchored the judging table across all five seasons so far.
