UX/UI

We are REFRAMD. A Berlin-based and Google-backed eyewear start-up creating inclusive eyewear products for a diverse world. Founded in 2020 by Ackeem Ngwenya & Shariff Vreugd. REFRAMD has its roots in years of personal frustrations of not finding correct fitting sunglasses for our nose profiles and an unwillingness to accept the world as it is. 

Today, REFRAMD means so much more to us. Our company is built on the foundation of diversity and inclusion. We are evolving into a multidisciplinary tech start-up. 

OUR CULTURE

We’re a small team with huge ambitions for what we want to achieve and the environment we build. We want people to own what they do and have the autonomy and freedom to make mistakes, learn, and create something meaningful. Responsibility and accountability are fundamental values within our company. We all work hard and care about what REFRAMD is here to do – we’re looking for exceptional people that are proactive, hungry to learn, and want to put their pride in our collective achievements. We are a culturally engaged, innovative, and growing team.
