A Collaboration 20 years in the making

For more than two decades, Noongar artist Peter Farmer and Jason Hirst have worked side by side, blending contemporary design with rich cultural narratives. Their long-standing collaboration is built on respect, creativity, and a shared vision: to create works that honour Country while enriching the spaces we live in.

Together, they transform Peter’s cultural narratives into designs and structures that connect people to place. Jason’s architectural and design expertise, combined with Peter’s artistic knowledge and cultural guidance, have shaped projects across Australia that celebrate family, community, and the enduring relationship between land and people.

This partnership is at the heart of Moort Designs, a fusion of innovation and tradition, grounded in over 20 years of trust and collaboration.
