Meet Optik’s Very Own Road Warrior. 🚗👓
Suzanne Sendel didn’t start her career in optical. She came to the industry after working in interior design and architectural sales management, bringing with her an eye for design, colour and detail.
More than a decade later, she’s travelled countless miles representing independent eyewear collections, built relationships with optical professionals across the country, and turned those experiences into her popular Road Warriors column for Optik Magazine.
But Suzanne didn’t stop at writing about eyewear.
Life on the road also inspired her to design her own eyeglass case, bringing together her design background and years of firsthand experience in the optical world.
Designer. Distributor. Writer. Road warrior.
Suzanne may not have started in optical, but she’s certainly made the industry her own. ❤️👓
