Kia ora, we’re Joel and Shea - A Māori couple currently living in the Bay of Plenty, parents, full-time workers, and dreamers bringing Aronui Collective to life.
What started as a long held desire to create has grown into a movement that celebrates culture, creativity, and connection. Aronui Collective is our way of expressing who we are — blending tradition with innovation, storytelling with design, and identity with purpose.
Joel is the creative mastermind behind the scenes, dreaming up designs and finding fresh ways to express our culture and the essence of Aronui, the pursuit of knowledge and growth. Shea is the organiser, problem-solver, and behind the scenes boss making sure everything runs smoothly. She’s also the one you can reach out to on social media if you have questions, feedback, or just want to say hi!
Together, we’re building more than a brand — we’re creating a space where culture moves forward, creativity thrives, and community comes first.
