Founder and CEO
MEET ANNA PARK, MD
As the daughter of a minister, Anna moved frequently. When asked where she’s from, Anna shrugs and calls herself a “Midwest person,” unsure of where she’s exactly from. So it still feels strange to her that she’s been calling Washington D.C. “home” for most of her adult life now.
Co-Founder
MEET HARRY BAE
Harry Bae, attorney turned entrepreneur, was watched by Founder and CEO Anna Park years before she made him an offer to join Noon Shop as the COO. Bae’s hesitance to get on board was brief. Over a quick lunch by his law firm, he listened to Anna’s vision for Noon Shop, tried on the glasses, and that was that. He was in.

She managed to survive (no, thrive) in a cut throat environment not made for people like her—the elusive American Dream.
