Our Story - Shelly Rae Designs
Faith + Art + Function + Travel + Style + Sustainability = Shelly Rae Designs
A Journey of Art, Faith, and Adventure
At Shelly Rae Designs, every piece begins with faith and is inspired by creation. Rooted in my love for Jesus and shaped by a life of travel, each design reflects the beauty I’ve seen—and the wonder I hope to share.
Where Art, Adventure, and Faith Intersect
From my Midwestern roots to the turquoise shores of Florida, my artistic journey has been shaped by movement, nature, and a deep reverence for the Creator. When I relocated from Chicago to Punta Gorda, I found fresh inspiration in the sunlit coastline, vivid marine life, and the rhythm of the Gulf. That shift didn’t just change my scenery—it awakened a new vision.
At Shelly Rae Designs, every piece begins with original artwork inspired by real-life adventures—whether I’m scuba diving among coral reefs, biking coastal paths, casting a line from the dock, or wandering nature trails. Florida’s active lifestyle fuels not only my creativity but also the practicality and versatility of each design.
Fashion That Reflects Creation
As a traveler and artist, I’ve wandered the world with paintbrush in hand, collecting colors, textures, and even water from oceans and rivers to incorporate into my process. My faith is the heartbeat behind it all—every design is an expression of gratitude to God for the beauty of creation and the freedom to explore it.
This is more than clothing—it’s art you can live in. Wearable reminders to move boldly, live joyfully, and honor the world around you.
Our Mission
To create art-infused fashion that celebrates wonder, encourages movement, and reflects the spirit of adventure and faith. Whether you’re paddling through mangroves, hiking a mountain trail, dancing at a music festival, or simply savoring the everyday—we’re here to outfit your journey with comfort, color, and purpose.
Purposeful Fashion, Designed with Heart
At Shelly Rae Designs, we believe in creating beauty without excess. Our commitment to intentional design means we produce in small batches, avoid overproduction, and choose quality materials that last—because timeless style should never come at the cost of our planet.
We embrace innovative, eco-conscious practices that support a slower, more mindful approach to fashion. From sourcing responsibly to designing pieces that are as versatile as they are vibrant, we’re building a brand rooted in creativity, stewardship, and care.
When you wear Shelly Rae Designs, you’re not just choosing art you can live in—you’re choosing purpose, progress, and a more sustainable future. Let’s adventure responsibly, express ourselves boldly, and move through this world with both style and intention.
