At SPARK, we’re builders at heart, problem-solvers who love to roll up our sleeves, work together, and make things happen. That same mindset fuels not just our product design work, but our commitment to community.
What we’ve learned from 30 years and 130+ years of combined experience in product development
We’re excited to officially welcome Mike Holt to the SPARK team as our newest full-time hire. (Although he’s been around for a while!)
Internal innovation teams are everywhere these days. And for good reason: who better to spot opportunities, propose smarter systems, or dream up the next big thing than the people already working inside your company?
SPARK employees spent a day in October supporting The Doorways by helping refresh and clean up the spaces that make a difference for guests. From pruning overgrown shrubs to mulching garden beds, from sweeping the parking garage to unexpectedly tackling a long-forgotten alley, the team helped make the property feel safer, more welcoming, and more like home for those staying there.
Earlier this fall, the SPARK team spent a day volunteering with Start 1 Spark, a Richmond-based nonprofit that helps ignite student potential by connecting schools with the resources and hands-on support they need to thrive.
Vision Expo West has been around longer than I’ve been in the industry, but this year was my first time attending, and it was well worth the trip to Vegas. The show is known for its cutting-edge eyewear designs, but what really impressed me was the technology shaping the optometry industry as a whole. From tools addressing staffing shortages with remote care capabilities to fully automated lines producing custom lenses, exhibitors were tackling a wide range of challenges head-on.
Let’s make something together
