About
MY STORY
My name is Olivia Moorkens.
I was born in Thailand and adopted at the age of three months.
Originally a graphic designer, it was traveling all over the world that encouraged me to choose my own path. Driven by my passion for eyewear, I enrolled in the MOF* Eyeglass Craftsmanship school in France, where I was taught the art of making eyewear.
Today, I am glad to call my passion my profession!
