North East Optical Show

As the visionary founder of Spexy, a certified optician, dynamic international speaker, and unapologetic optometric renegade, Kayla doesn’t just talk about change—she builds it. Kayla is known for shaking up the status quo with her direct, relatable, and results-driven approach to optical refinement.

Recognizing the need for real-world, high-impact training for eyecare teams, Kayla transformed her years of industry coaching into an engaging online learning experience now known as Spexy®. The Spexy team helps opticals improve both patient care and profitability by creating genuine, repeatable connections at every touchpoint.

Her solution driven spirit didn’t stop there—Kayla is also the creator of FrameTurn®, a proprietary tool that empowers independent opticals to optimize their frame inventory based on their own unique sales data. The result? Increased profitability, clear plan of action, and a smarter way to inventory frames.

Kayla’s impact hasn’t gone unnoticed. She was named one of Vision Monday’s Most Influential Women in Eyecare 2024, has been a regular contributor to Invision Magazine since 2021, and appeared on Invision Magazine’s April 2024 cover. In 2025, she received the Optical Women’s Association Emerging Leader Award and currently serves as Assistant Chair on the Optical Women’s Association Digital Marketing Committee.

Kayla’s mission is bold and clear: challenge the “way it’s always been done,” inspire contagious growth, and put the power of transformation into the hands of every optical team ready to grow.
