The Design Files

For Gumbaynggirr women and mother-daughter duo Melissa Greenwood and Lauren Jarrett, their art business and brand Miimi and Jiinda started as a passion project.

But after an outpouring of support for their deeply personal creative outlet, it’s blossomed into something bigger; championing change and telling stories through their heartfelt creations, in the hope that ‘all Australians can feel proud of our Aboriginal culture’.

The pair create contemporary Indigenous artworks, as well as woven pieces made with traditional techniques, and recently launched a clothing and homewares label, Ochre by Miimi & Jiinda!
