The company Teledyne reached out to me and commissioned me to create this miniature model of the James Webb Telescope to be given away at corporate events to provide a fun and creative experience to those who build it. The model and its instructions were designed entirely by me with the goal of accuracy, simple to assemble, and low amount of parts to easily mass-produced. Additionally, I ordered the needed 27,500 LEGO elements and packaged 500 kits for Teledyne.
