Kristin Baird, RO

Registered Optician / Owner

My journey in the optical industry began more than 30 years ago, and it has truly been a career built on passion, lifelong learning, and meaningful relationships. For much of that time, I have proudly called the Niagara region home, where I have had the privilege of helping generations of patients with their vision and eye care needs.

What I have always loved most about this profession isn’t just helping people see better—it’s the connections I’ve built along the way. There is no greater compliment than having patients return year after year, asking specifically for my care. Knowing that I have made a positive difference in someone’s life has been one of the greatest rewards of my career. After spending my first 10 years learning hands-on in the optical field, I completed the Canadian Certified Optometric Assistant (CCOA) program. My passion for learning continued to grow, and I thoroughly enjoyed working alongside optometrists to help patients achieve their best possible vision. In 2024, I embarked on my next goal—earning my Optician’s Licence. I proudly completed this milestone in October 2025, giving me the confidence and inspiration to open Sight Studio.

Crystal Amell

Optometric Assistant

I’m excited to be part of this new chapter and to help create an optical space where patients feel comfortable, cared for, and confident in their eyewear choices. I have over three years of experience in the optical field, working closely with an optometrist and supporting patients throughout their eye care journey. My role included pre-testing for eye exams, assisting with patient care and helping people choose glasses that fit both their vision needs and personal style.

What I enjoy most is getting to know our patients and making the process of selecting eyewear feel easy, relaxed, and even fun. I believe great service comes from listening, building trust, and helping each person leave feeling their best. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, staying active, and being involved in the community. I’m looking forward to welcoming both new and familiar faces to our new store and helping everyone find eyewear they truly love.
