In July, 2025 our Founder and Creative Director, Kristen Aronsson, had the opportunity to sit down with the hosts of the insightful podcast, A Life Creative for a conversation about Aperçu. She was thrilled to join the ranks of the many accomplished, creative professionals featured across the episodes so far.
Hosts Melañio Gomez and Marcie McGoldrick founded the A Life Creative as a space to share stories, support and advise for the creative community while they navigate their careers. Whether you’re running a business, pursuing a passion, or just trying to connect with other creators - each episode delivers practical tips and insights from experts as well as a little inspiration along the way.
In this episode they speak with Kristen about what drew her to the world of eyewear and how she’s built her 20+ year career focused on eyewear design. They dive into the challenges of building a brand from the ground up, staying relevant in a trend-driven industry, and how to find space for creativity while running a business.
