"Renee is a force of nature and a brilliant people person. I have only ever been witness to her succeeding and never failing. A truly wonderful woman"

- Alan McGee, Creation Records

“On the outside, Renee Ruin is perpetually cheerful, happy, funny, gregarious even. She is one of our favourite people in my house, a  friend considered with great fondness…Renee is a beacon, a prophet, a voice from the wilderness and may she ever rage”

- MARK LANEGAN, MUSICIAN & POET

"Renee is a wonderful writer, full of passion, and dedication, and she is deeply compassionately honest. She is able to take topics that might seem transgressive and recast them through her crafted poetry to reach audiences who might otherwise turn away. She is utterly dependable and trustworthy."

- JT LEROY, AUTHOR

"From the start Renee has been a friendly and refined voice: someone who guides you towards good and unique things! I would love to work with her again next time I come to Australia. "

- CHELSEA WOLFE, MUSICIAN

"Forward thinkers are a catalyst for creative's worldwide. Renee's vision for the zeitgeist is ever inspiring. With her passion for culture and diversity she is at the forefront of the new. Her multi faceted grasp on communication and social media is wonderfully esoteric and truly enviable. We at Fallow enjoy working with people who venture into curious frontiers others may fear to explore. Renee has strong ideas and her work ethos excites our thirst for discovery." 

- NAT DENNING, FALLOW

 

"renee has an inspiring mission to share her vision of contemporary culture and shed light on new artists."

- LAURA PRIETO-VELASCO,  HVNTER GATHERER

"Renee has always been a pleasure to work with. She has shown herself not only to be an expert content creator but an arbiter of taste for music, fashion, and culture."

- Jonathan Tuite, THE FLENSER

 

"Renee has been a creative force for over 10 years in several subcultures that I hold near and dear to my heart. Fashion, Art and Music (specifically goth, punk and metal). She is a tastemaker. Her website is curated to feature up-and-comers, allowing those with a love of the underground and the macabre to find the things they were looking for but maybe couldn't quite find themselves. 
Renee is and always has been a pleasure to work with, both on a professional and personal level, and even at great distances." 

- ILANA ENGEL, VINYL FANTASY RECORDS

 

"Renee brings a fresh approach to music & fashion curation.  
Reneeruin.com IS quickly becoming a favorite destination site for those with a rebellious & sophisticated taste."

- BENNY CARDENAS, CLEOPATRA RECORDS

 

"Renee is honestly such a gem. She knows her stuff and she get's it done. Her taste level is leagues above most and her skillset is effective and impressive to say the least. My business has absolutely benefitted from her insight and expertise."

- Kate Fox, Graphic Artist & Illustrator

 

"Renee is a trendesetting niche influencer, talented blogger, content creator, curator and writer. Her impeccable taste has earned her an international reputation. She´s always on trend. I´ve been reading her website for several years, and my work has been featured in it reaching a wide audience. She´s always been a pleasure to work with and she´s always at the top of my mind when I need to think about an “alternative” influencer."

- Leticia Almeida Carrasco, Publicist

“Renee is a force whose name held power well before it embodied her agency- I’ve long admired her influence and command of style, and consider myself and my brand fortunate to be privy to her expertise in that realm. Simultaneously polite and decisive, patient and tenacious; she “gets it” in a way that very few do- and as a female owned and operated business, I’m proud to work with another who’s doing the same in her own capacity.”

- nicole maret, the order

"Working with Renee is exactly what a PR experience should be like - She is personable and just completely understanding of the projects she takes on. I would work with and grow with Renee as long as I can. Everyone in the dark realm and outsider art world should work with Renee if they know whats good for them - and if they don't, she does..."

— LUNACY, MUSICIAN
