OUR STORY

O U R S T O R Y

Hey guys I’m Ashley the Founder & CEO of Wavey! Thanks for making your way to our corner of the internet. I grew up on the beaches of Long Island, NY and 23 years old. Here is the story of how Wavey came to be. . .

It all started in Cabo San Luca, Mexico, 2017. I had a pair of pink round frame sunglasses that were super vibrant and fun. On the beach my friends would steal them from me, even the guys. They looked good on everyone & gave a pop of color.

I was a business and computer science student at URI in the beach town Narraganset, RI in 2017. I have always loved creating in any way I could — what started off as a draw towards the ocean & palm trees has grown into a brand that has it’s own unique vibe. It all began after designing the logo and crafting the website.

Wavey started with the 4 main classic collection — Malibu, Peachy, Bodak & Ash. The four colors together became an aesthetic and each pair had our signature wave in the corner on the lens. They were like the magic sunglasses. It became a thing to choose your vibe with each frame and join the culture.

After graduation, I packed up the business & headed home to a summer in Long Island, NY. I spent the summer waitressing to save up enough money to follow my California Daydream. Spreading the word any way I could, farmer’s markets & beach photoshoots. Soon enough, Wavey’s sunglasses we’re being worn all over the world. It became a culture that people resonated with, and that’s why you’re here.

Fast forward a few months & we are finally based in San Diego! Not only am I obsessed with the views, weather and palm trees, the people I've met here are incredible. I take my longboard down to the post office everyday & ship out our sunglasses across the country & world.

Now, I have a vision to bring together all the talented and creative people who have made Wavey a Movement. Why not do what you love full time? I am inspired to elevate the artists, photographers and creators of our generation. Excited to share the journey with you!
