Focus & Frame Eyewear Recognized Among UH’s Fastest-Growing Alumni-Owned Businesses
Houston, TX – The University of Houston has recognized one of its distinguished alumni, Brittney Adams, with the prestigious Cougar 100 Award, an honor given annually to the 100 fastest-growing companies owned and operated by UH graduates. This year, Adams’ company, Focus & Frame Eyewear, an innovative eyewear brand known for its stylish and affordable prescription and non-prescription glasses, earned a spot on the esteemed list.
For Adams, this moment was more than just a business milestone—it was a full-circle achievement. Reflecting on her journey, she recalled the challenges she faced as a student at UH. Initially, she was not accepted into the university, and later, financial struggles nearly forced her to leave. However, thanks to the support of key UH leaders, including Ricky Raven, Dean Conley, and Dr. Lee, she was able to overcome these obstacles. These individuals played a critical role in securing financial assistance and job opportunities, allowing her to complete her education.
"To now be recognized as a top-performing alumni is both humbling and surreal," Adams shared. "It’s a testament to the resilience, support, and opportunities that UH provides for its students."
The Cougar 100 Award is designed to showcase the success of alumni who have turned their education into entrepreneurial excellence, driving economic growth and innovation in their industries. For Adams, the award is a reminder of the power of perseverance and the impact of a strong support system.
As Focus & Frame Eyewear continues to grow, Adams remains committed to inspiring the next generation of UH students and entrepreneurs, proving that setbacks are just stepping stones to greater success.
