About the Founder
ARMD was born from the personal journey of founder and CEO, Shaida Aramide Alabi. Known for wearing sunglasses year-round, Shaida embraced shades not just as a fashion statement, but as a shield and an empowering tool to manage her social anxiety. Behind every pair she wore was a story of confidence, self-expression, and liberation.
What started as a personal coping mechanism quickly caught attention. Compliments poured in, and it became clear her love for sunglasses was more than just style; it was a lifestyle.
ARMD represents bold, unapologetic confidence and the freedom to express your true self one pair of shades at a time.
