Joseph Brumm is an Australian animator, director, and writer. After working on multiple British animated children's shows, he created the Peabody Award-winning Australian animated television series Bluey. Brumm was born in Winton in Central West Queensland, the second of three boys. His father worked for the Department of Primary Industries, while his mother was a librarian. After moving to Cairns when he was five years old, his family finally settled in the state's capital city of Brisbane when he was aged 12, where he began attending high school. He graduated from Marist College Ashgrove in 1995. After finishing high school, he studied animation at Griffith University and graduated in 1998 with a Bachelor of Animation (Honors). . After graduating university, Brumm relocated to London, where he obtained work as an animator on several British series such as Charlie and Lola, Peppa Pig, Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom, and Tinga Tinga Tales. Brumm returned to Brisbane in 2009 and established a small animation studio called Studio Joho with the intent of making an Australian version of Peppa Pig, swapping the pig characters with dog characters and changing the personality of the father figure. The show would be titled Bluey. Brumm decided the episodes of Bluey would centre around the two juvenile characters participating in play-based learning and creating their own adventures, creating a one-minute sample in 2016. Ludo Studio, a local company, picked it up and helped Brumm expand the sample into a five-minute pilot. Brumm and his wife Suzy subsequently created the first season of 52 seven-minute episodes, which were released in Australia in 2018. The show has gone on to achieve commercial success and critical acclaim internationally. In 2001, Brumm created an animated short called Causes, and he directed a 2015 short called The Meek. In October 2021, Brumm was named Griffith University's Outstanding Alumnus. In June 2023, he was named as a Queensland Great.
