At Warby Parker, our goal is to create a workplace where employees can think big, have fun, and drive growth and innovation. One of the ways we foster this is through our annual Hackathon! Over the course of three days, team members across departments come together to build new, innovative technologies to help solve customer and business problems. Fun fact: Over the years, we’ve implemented many Hackathon ideas throughout our business. This year was our biggest Hackathon yet, with 10 teams competing and presenting a range of projects. They tackled everything from building new tools for our retail team members to optimizing our lab systems, devising backend payment hacks, and even designing a video game. Congrats to all of our participants and winners!

I finally accomplished a goal I've been wanting for awhile, I HAVE ART IN MY HOME CITY! One of my favorite clients Warby Parker commissioned me to create art for their new store in Huntsville, Alabama. I created 20 illustrations that reflect the city and the south in general... warm, welcoming, and family + community oriented. I was actually finishing this project while I was home in June, and had the chance to really take in the city from a different lens. I incorporated places + architecture that have been apart of my childhood forever. While I'm so grateful to have art in major cities, the south raised me. Huntsville is HOME, and the people in the city still support me to this day. I'm so happy to finally have a piece of my creative spirit there. If you're in Huntsville, check out the new store in Bridgestreet and send me pics. A big thank you to Warby Parker for thinking of me for this.

And the email is announcing our new Super Concentric Collection features frames that take three months to construct 📧

“Building a business is frankly an emotional rollercoaster.” bit.ly/3yOWOl Most of the time, work should be all business and not personal. That can be a relief when you think your boss is crazy, resent your coworker for dropping the ball on a project, or say too much at the company happy hour. The only snag is when you happen to be in business with your best friend. That’s the challenge for Dave Gilboa and Neil Blumenthal, the co-founders and co-CEOs of direct-to-consumer glasses juggernaut Warby Parker. The two pals met in business school and have been in business together for almost 15 years. Read more here: bit.ly/3yOWOls

As the new school year begins, we’re excited to share that our Pupils Program program is growing! Through Pupils Project, we partner with local organizations and government agencies to provide free vision screenings, eye exams, and glasses to school children in the U.S. For the 2024-2025 school year, we’ll be bringing the program to two new cities – Austin, TX and Las Vegas, NV. With this expansion, the program is now operating in 42 U.S. cities and has distributed more than 270,000 pairs of glasses to school children nationwide since 2015. We’re looking forward to working with our new partners half Helen (Austin, TX) and EyeCare4Kids (Las Vegas, NV) and getting closer to our goal of ensuring students across the country have the glasses they need to see and thrive.
