Client Depicts Purpose - On Her Face

Frequently, clients come to me because they got a new pair of eyeglasses and soon realized they don’t like them. The frame doesn’t particularly flatter their face.

Do I Really Have to Get My Eyes Examined?

So you want some sassy new specs, eh? Can’t blame you. Frames come in a beautiful variety of styles, colors, shapes and attitudes.
