We recently connected with René Bagwandeen and have shared our conversation below.

René, appreciate you joining us today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?

My mission is to help beauty business owners create a brand identity that feels professional, cohesive, and true to them. I’ve seen so many talented entrepreneurs struggle with branding simply because they don’t have the right visuals to represent their business. I want to change that.

What really inspired my mission was realizing how much of a difference good design can make. When I first started, I was just creating for fun, but as I worked with more clients, I saw how the right branding could transform not only how their business looked but also how confident they felt showing up online. I want my designs to give business owners that sense of pride and credibility, helping them attract more customers and grow with ease.

At the end of the day, my mission isn’t just about creating pretty designs. It’s about giving entrepreneurs the tools they need to stand out, be taken seriously, and build a brand they love.

René, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My name is René Bagwandeen, and I’m the creative mind behind RenéGraphicsStudio. I’m a 22-year-old self-taught graphic designer, born and raised in Jamaica. I help business owners, especially in the beauty industry, like nail techs, lash artists, hairstylists, and estheticians, create designs that make their brand look more put-together and professional.

My journey into graphic design started unexpectedly when I made a custom chip bag for my aunt. That one small project sparked my interest in design, and I found myself eager to learn more. I started watching YouTube tutorials and practicing every chance I got. Over time, I developed my skills, and people began reaching out to me for custom designs. What started as a simple hobby quickly turned into a business, and that’s how RenéGraphicsStudio was born.

Now I offer branding materials, social media graphics, website development, logo design, and more. A lot of my clients struggle with making their brand look consistent, and that’s where I come in. I create designs that help them stand out and attract more customers.

What sets me apart is that I don’t just design something and send it off. I take the time to understand what my clients need, even if they aren’t sure what they want. I focus on creating visuals that not only look good but also help my clients grow their businesses.

One of the things I’m most proud of is seeing my clients use my designs to elevate their brands. Whether it’s a logo that finally makes their business feel real or an e-flyer that helps them book more clients, knowing that my work is making a difference is what keeps me going.

If you’re looking for designs that make your business look more professional and help you connect with more customers, I’d love to work with you!

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

Yes, my goal is to empower business owners, particularly in the beauty industry, to create a strong and authentic brand identity. I know that many entrepreneurs struggle with branding because they don’t have the right tools or support to bring their vision to life. I want to bridge that gap by offering designs that not only elevate their brand visually but also provide the clarity and confidence they need to move forward in their business.

My mission is more than just creating eye-catching designs—it’s about making sure that the visuals I provide help businesses connect with their audience and build lasting relationships. Whether it’s a logo that tells their story or a marketing piece that gets people talking, I want my designs to be a tool for growth. What truly drives me is knowing that my work plays a part in their success and gives them the confidence to show up and thrive.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

The most rewarding part of being a creative is seeing how my work helps my clients bring their vision to life. It’s a great feeling when a client tells me that my designs helped them attract more customers or made their brand look more professional. I also love the process of taking an idea and turning it into something real.

Another thing I enjoy is the freedom that comes with being a designer. Every project is different, and I get to experiment with different styles, colors, and concepts. It keeps things exciting and allows me to keep growing as a creative. But overall, knowing that my work has a real impact on someone’s business is what makes it all worth it.
