It started just as a bit of a hobby. I've always been a bit of a woodworker. We went from making shields and boomerangs, mainly, and some clap sticks, then I started doing some drawing. People wanted artwork for reports and reconciliation action plans, and we're miles away from that now. So we're very, very busy now.

I have a background in interior design, and I was working in commercial interiors. And continually, I had clients that had a problem with noise. I decided that I really needed to create something that looked really good, but also solved that problem with sound.
Our lights are made in Australia, and they're made from responsible materials. They're custom made, so we don't have a warehouse full of stock. They're made to order.
I think it's really important that our laws protect designers who are creative enough to innovate.

I have a background in interior design, and I was working in commercial interiors. Continually, I had clients that had a problem with noise. I decided that I really needed to create something that looked really good, but also solved that problem with sound. So it became evident to me that it would be a really good idea to suspend the solution. Because it's suspended, the sound waves bounce around a room, and then they are absorbed by the material that these lights are made of.
Wheely Bug have been in operation since 1995. The concept was born from a neighbour child wanting to ride a toy like his big brother. Prototypes were initially tested in childcare centres and iteratively improved. Their instant success encouraged them to start exporting in 2000, and expanded into a workshop with 5 employees in order to make 1000 ride on toys per month. By 2004 demand was so high that they expanded their manufacturing overseas to a US owned Chinese factory. Despite this global success, their headquarters remain in Cairns.
