René Graham and I share a background in Architectural education, and a passion for entrepreneurship. We met at a startup founder / funder meetup in Austin TX and became fast friends.

I learned about the development of Renzoe Box - René heading to a business meeting on the subway and when the train lurched forward her makeup bag spilled out onto the seat and how “there’s gotta be a better way!” The idea for an elegant, elevated solution to the messy makeup bag was missing from the market. A standard compact for makeup is small, holds only one or two colors or variations, and is always one single brand. An architecturally engineered storage device designed for women on the go, provides a more effective storage solution and most of all gives the consumer the option to choose a variety of brands of makeup pressed into the same palette.

An engineering mindset, iterative design, meticulous attention to detail, and direct relationships with suppliers and manufacturers led to the creation of the Renzoe Box model available today. Future development will see variation in product offering, digital products accompanying the physical, brand partnerships and collaborations, and introducing Renzoe Box as a new distribution/point of sale for legacy brands in makeup expanding their audience to consumers outside of their traditional ICP.

Meet your new makeup bag and see where you would use Renzoe Box in your daily routine.
