In 2017, myself and my girlfriend (now wife!) Sacha started a glasses brand called Ambr Eyewear (we'll get to everambrlater..) from our kitchen table in Dublin.
Our daughter had just been born, we were indoors a lot and were noticing the impact of watching screens more.
We were young, naive and overly confident thinking we could build a product (blue light glasses) and a brand to bring healthier screen habits to the masses. But we did...and it started to get popular.
We moved into this lovely little office you can see here, where I spent many an evening in awe handpacking glasses bound for different parts of the world. I still get that feeling 7 years later.
Lots of wonderful unexpected things happened with Ambr Eyewear, it was an amazing experience for us in our early 20s. We won a ton of awards, we got stocked in some major retailers, we sold glasses in over 80 countries and we even opened a shop in Dublin City.
We became experts in optics and grew our product line - introducing sunglasses and prescription glasses. Things were good...the great reviews kept rolling and it seemed like nothing could get in the way of world domination for Ambr Eyewear.
