About
A grounded place—a safe place—built for something slower.
Hi,
We’re Shaun and Katie. We live with our daughter in McLaren Vale, on the Fleurieu Peninsula. It’s quiet here. There’s space to breathe. The land’s a little wild, but it holds you.
After years caught up in a faster world—chasing, striving, performing—we began to learn a different way. A slower way. One rooted in rest, in grace, and in the kind of relationships that don’t ask you to prove yourself.
As we slowed down, we started to notice what really matters.
Beauty. Safety. Wonder.
These have become our family’s guiding values. And they’re what led us to build this creative studio.
Because we believe creative work should feel like that too.
Down to earth. Rooted. Held. Not rushed. Not loud. Not driven by pressure. A place where you can build something meaningful, without having to become someone you’re not.
That’s what Earth & Shelter is to us—and what we hope it can be for you.
