Heinsbergens formal art training would take shape as one of the first students to enroll with Mrs. Nellie Chouinard in her new school for the arts in Los Angeles, Chouinard Art Institute (later teaming with Walt Disney to form the California Institute of the Arts / CalArts).

While attending Chouinard, he would develop his skills as a muralist. Heinsbergen established his own Los Angeles design firm in 1922.

His earliest contracts would include designing interiors for the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, the Beverly-Wilshire Hotel, and the iconic Los Angeles City Hall yes, the one filmed during the opening credits of the 1950s Superman television series! Heinsbergen's murals can also still be seen in the Wiltern Theatre, in addition to the ceilings of El Portal de La Paz Mausoleum at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier. For over half a century, Heinsbergen and his staff of over 150 artists and builders would create (and restore) the interior designs for over 700 movie palaces throughout the United States.

As the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel opened in 1928 prior to hosting the first Academy Awards presentation, Heinsbergen created the magnificent ceilings that are listed among the most beautiful in the nation. Perhaps most notably, in 1929, he would be contracted by theatre and vaudeville mogul Alexander Pantages to create the spectacular interiors for the historic Pantages Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. The two bedroom home was located on three acres of beachfront property and included two maids quarters, a swimming pool, and a three car garage. The site featured 180 degree views of the beach and also included a guest cottage.

In addition, a ten-car garage was built underneath the home to accommodate the vintage automobile collection of Heinsbergens son, Anthony T.
