Creativity has always ran through my veins and I have enjoyed expressing myself through style and fashion as well as music as a songwriter since a very young age. I am also interested in the human psyche, so spent much of my adult life working with people in welfare or as a Psychotherapist. It wasn't until I hit my thirties that I decided to go back to uni to pursue my creative loves and since then I have really focussed on helping others to move through their emotions and change through creativity as it has been the thing that has helped me the most too. I am currently working as a creative mentor with people with disabilities (mostly mental health diagnoses) and making for my own fashion brand as well as writing and performing as Lady Rae.

I feel like I was born to perform as from a very young age, you would find me doing my thing as a singer and dancer particularly in the church I grew up in but also in dance performances and choir in Ballarat, Victoria, the town I grew up in. As a teen, I purchased my first guitar (a Martinez which I named Marty) and began songwriting but didn't perform any original music until I was nearly thirty. My influences are varied but I love folk, soul, blues, some Hip Hop and spoken word. I particularly love Corinne Bailey Rae, Erykah Badu, Jewel, Keb' Mo' and Hozier. I will be performing some of the songs I have written and co-written with a full band on November 23, 2024.

Ironically my name (Renae) means "Reborn" which is interesting as reinvention is a big part of my brand, Esher Rae. Creativity has always allowed me to recreate myself in so many ways and I see clothing as a way that we can reinvent ourselves too as we put on different outfits choosing to express the parts of ourselves that we want to at any given moment, but also experimenting with different identities or roles and becoming who we choose to become. This idea of reinvention is fundamental in "Esher Rae". Esher (meaning blessed or happy) and Rae (which is short for Renae but also short for ray of light) uses my (mostly) optimistic and playful personality mixed with a dose of reality and my love of illustrating which I use to create unique drawings that I embroider or print onto the clothes and designs I make. Esher Rae is really designed to be petite friendly as I generally design for myself and I am just 5'2" (petite is anything under 5'4") though many of my creations work for other sizes too as I also design shoes and accessories. I love to use colour and other symbology in my designs to express messages of hope, change and transformation and try to make many of the items modular, for those that like a lot of change and variety. My next collection "hope" will be available for pre-order in December to be released in 2025.
