Shwin Srikulacheep

Having grown up right around the corner from Wanderlust Eyecare, it’s safe to say Shwin is right at home. His love for great eyecare and great eyewear stems from his love for people and community. It also helps to have an amazing wife who happens to be our resident owner and eye doctor! If he’s not at Wanderlust, you’ll most likely see him around at one of the many local businesses in the North Shore!
