Frameri lenses attract Jay Z’s online attention

Frameri founder and CEO Konrad Billetz talks about his company’s popular interchangeable eyewear lenses with Life+Times, Jay Z’s digital home covering art, sports, music, fashion and culture. He also discusses the Over-the-Rhine startup’s future in the wake of his recognition as one of Forbes magazine’s “30 Under 30” and why Cincinnati was the right place to launch Frameri.

“Cincinnati has to be one of most creative places I’ve ever experienced,” Billetz tells Life+Times. “Being in Cincinnati has really helped us significantly. The entire community of designers, photographers, and creatives in general have been really supportive of us. Everyone wants to help and contribute to our mission, so we end up getting a lot of creative work either significantly discounted or free. Thank you Cincy!”
