David Duralde has served as Chief Creative Officer at various eyewear companies for more than 20 years, but his passion has always been independent businesses. He began his career in eyewear as a Product Manager with the renowned independent eyewear brand l.a.Eyeworks. Over fourteen years with them, he honed his artistic eye and his knowledge of the independent optical field. He went on to design eyewear for a variety of fashion brands and private labels, before joining OGI Eyewear as the Chief Creative Officer. His role has involved driving innovation in optical frames from the materials used all the way to the final product and the way it is shared with patients. With every design decision, David keeps independent optical professionals and their patients in mind. While his designs have graced over 60 million faces, he remains focused on supporting the beauty, health, and happiness of every individual.
