Who’s behind TRA

Ray has always had a passion for fashion since she was a little girl.

Ray was creating dresses out of ruffle socks for her dolls at a young age, always so particular about her hair, appearance, and the things she would wear.

Her mother loved all the fashion trends while her father was frugal and loved thrifting. That taught her how to create her own unique style.

Her father would take her thrifting and she would cry because she didn’t like wearing gently worn clothing. She eventually started loving to thrift.

Ray would take all her old pieces and pair them with the new and curate unique eccentric looks. It was effortless to her, and she enjoyed it.

The Ray Affect came from her mother, she would always call her Ray for short. “Affect” means to inspire and have an impact on others. She loves inspiring and empowering others.

In 2022,Ray realized she wanted to create a line and go fearlessly big with it.

She is the founder of The Ray Affect, a woman's wear curated collection since 2018.

She carries a small batch of advanced contemporary and thoughtfully selected pieces for woman who are feminine and fearless.
