We live in a very visual world and are knowingly or unknowingly influenced by our surroundings and peers. We’re all amateur photographers and recorders of life thanks to cameras on our phones. And, we’re all art directors and editors thanks to Instagram. For me, designing an eyewear collection is pretty much the same. My life and influences can often be captured in a snapshot. Art, architecture, fashion, interior design, travel, and culture are all put through my visual filter. The output is a distillation and highly curated collection of eyewear that reflects a soulful, tactile, and artisanal sensibility. It’s artful but wearable. – Blake Kuwahara
