Elijah Heine
Optical Stylist
Elijah Heine’s first exposure to the optical industry was as an office assistant in 2011. After graduating from the University of Whitewater with a degree in environmental science in 2018, he began work in an optical lab; cutting and edging lenses. He quickly fell in love with the science behind optics and the fashion of eyewear and transitioned to an optical stylist. To play a role in helping people see and look their absolute best, and having fun while doing it, is what he finds most rewarding.
The frame line that captures his attention is Anne & Valentin. Their attention to detail, mixture of premium finishings, and play of fun colors is what draws him to the line. He would love to one day visit their production facilities in France.
