​

I designed and established the overall style of the show, then lead art direction for all 52 episodes of S1, and a few eps of S2. It was surreal working on a show that's so firmly set in Brisbane Australia, because it's what I love drawing and painting the most! 

 

It's been an honour seeing a show that was so loved by the crew bring so much happiness to so many people. It's also personally been really touching seeing the Heeler's home have such a cultural resonance. As I designed the exterior and interior from scratch to reflect the fond memories I have of the Queenslander architecture I grew up with.
