Stephanie Leigh

With 8 years of experience in film and television, I’m a narrative-focused graphic designer whose work has earned two APDG nominations for Best Graphic Design recognising my work on TV series New Gold Mountain (2022), and Crazy Fun Park (2023).
Backed by a Master of Production Design for Screen from the Victorian College of the Arts (The VCA), my practice blends strong storytelling instincts with a keen eye for detail. I specialise in props, signage and on-screen graphics that make fictional worlds feel real whether they’re meant to blend into the background or take centre stage, and whether realistic or stylised.
Recognising my abilities and achievements, the VCA’s School of Design & Production has invited me to guest lecture on Graphic Design for Filmmaking for three consecutive years.
Originally trained as a fine artist, I apprenticed as a tattooist before turning my focus to film. That hands-on foundation informs my work in illustration and hand-drawn typography, bringing personality and craftsmanship to every piece, emphasising I’m not just a mouse-clicker, but a maker.
