our team, and well-suited to promoting our fun and functional smart eyewear.
Although our slogan has always been Upgrade Your Eyewear®, we brand all of
our products as Imagined in Miami, because we are so proud of the global
design and innovation hub that our hometown is becoming. We look forward to
working with more pillars of our local community like Mr. Ogbah."
