We wanted to focus on the joyous portrayal of the people of Kingston, Jamaica. She also wanted to shed more heroic light on Ivan, rather than focusing on the anti-hero aspect of him in the movie. 
With this in mind, I made a research trip to Kingston, where I saw a lot of vibrant color and hand-drawn signages and murals everywhere on the street- this influenced the design language of the show.
