Photo Studio & Picture Frame

Jean Damascene K.

Even as a child, Jean Damascene was fascinated by the importance of photos and videos and all the beautiful memories they held for people. After training in graphic design in Uganda, Jean Damascene returned to Rwanda. He initially worked as a graphic designer and videographer in a photo studio for nine months without pay in order to gain an overview of this sector of the economy in his home country. He realized that photo studios in Rwanda have difficulties getting good quality picture frames.

Project description

In 2015, Jean Damascene founded his own company, which offers services in the fields of graphic design, photography and videography. He also began producing photo frames with creative designs that emphasize the beauty of a photo. Initially, the production of photo frames was limited to use in his photo studio. Eventually, he started selling photo frames to 4 other studios in Rwanda.

Jean Damascene has exceptional technical skills in his field and has earned the trust of his customers. Initially working alone, he now employs 10 young people in his workshop and photo studio.
In addition to his services, Jean Damascene invests in training young people to build a team of skilled employees while making a positive impact on his community.

Jean Damascene is energetic, ambitious and ready to expand his business management skills. As he wants to keep up with the growth of his business, he is developing his business management skills with the help of BPN, with the aim of achieving further growth and securing and creating jobs.
