We had the good fortune of connecting with Kristin Moncrief and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kristin, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
the thought process behind starting my business was how can i make shopping for eyewear more convenient and make vision care more accessible for those that need it most, without sacrificing quality, care and service. Not only from an affordability standpoint but a time saving standpoint as well. vision care is often times an afterthought because we’re too busy to go get glasses or an exam, so we deal with old broken glasses expired prescription etc. So OptiGo’s goal is to fill in the gap, and come to our clients and provide much needed optical/vision care.

What should our readers know about your business?
OptiGo by Twix ‘N’ Between is a brand that transcends what we consider “The Norm” and puts a new meaning to customer service. Not only selling eyeglasses, but creating unforgettable Optical Experiences, making fashionable, quality eyewear more accessible. it is for the on the go individual, professional, or busy parent that can benefit from optical services that work around their busy schedules.
