How to Create Glasses That Are Uniquely You

Let’s get one thing straight: creating glasses isn’t just about popping lenses into a pretty frame.

It’s about finding that one pair that feels like it was made for your face, your colouring, your personality — and creating something uniquely you.

People often ask me, “How do you actually create glasses for someone?”
Well, here’s a peek behind the curtain.

Step 1: It all starts with you

Before we even look at a single frame, we talk. I want to know your lifestyle, your job, your colour preferences, your confidence levels, your quirks. This isn’t about picking a frame that’s “on trend” — it’s about finding one that makes you feel amazing.

Step 2: Face shape and colour analysis

Here’s where the magic happens. I look at your face shape, your skin tone, even your hair and eye colour. Every detail helps me guide you toward the best shapes and tones that will lift your features, brighten your eyes, and take years off (yes, really — it’s wild what the right frame can do).

Step 3: The design journey

This is where we actually create the glasses. Together, we choose a shape that suits you, then we play with colour palettes and acetates. I work with talented Aussie frame makers like Roger Henley and The Elusive Miss Lou to bring our vision to life. Whether it’s tweaking a current design or starting something completely custom — we make it happen.

Step 4: Lenses that match your lifestyle

As an optical dispenser, I don’t just make your frames look good — I make sure they work for your life too. Whether you need multifocals, transitions, blue-light filters or just something light and easy — I find the lens that fits your needs and your frame.

Step 5: The try-on moment (aka the best part)

This is my favourite part — when you put them on for the first time and say,
“Oh wow… that’s me.”

Because when you get it right, glasses don’t just help you see — they help you feel seen.

If you’ve ever wondered how to create glasses that feel personal, stylish, and made just for you — this is how we do it.
