Throwback Thursday 👓
A year ago, we featured David Duralde, Chief Creative Officer at OGI Eyewear, in our September–October 2024 issue — a true independent innovator blending technology and fashion in eyewear design.
David’s story reminds us how creativity evolves with innovation. From early CNC cutting machines and laser printing to the fusion of fashion and function, his work has pushed OGI to stay bold, curious, and forward-thinking.
Still leading the charge for independent design. Still redefining how we see the world.
