Harden’s Australia day Ambassador for 2017 is TV personality Joe Snell. Joe is well known as a judge on House Rules which is produced by the Seven Network. The series follows six state-based couples who renovate each other’s homes to receive the highest scores with the winner having their mortgage paid off.
The series is produced by the team who created the Seven reality show My Kitchen Rules and is hosted by Johanna Griggs.
Joe now practices at Snell Architects where his experience as a Registered Architect has crossed the fields of architecture, interior design, large scale urban event installation and lighting design. His work has been recognised in Australia with national design awards in retail, commercial and event based projects, including the 2012 Westfield National Retail Awards and the 2010 and 2011 Interior Design Excellence Awards.
His recent work includes the Anthony Nader RAW Hair Salon, Mamamia offices, Magazin Bar and Foneking retail stores. As well as architecture, Joe has a passion for lighting and is Creative Director of a lighting consultancy company called LLIGHT. He has created many exhibits for Vivid Sydney, an annual festival of light, music and ideas. He is also active in his role as Creative Director of The Goods Tube, a design-led company that specialises in bespoke gift collections for the corporate and retail markets.
