Client Spotlight 
Aurèlien Bouche-Pillon
"Océane"
Aurèlien Bouche-PillonLast year SCORE was visited by a client who was originally from France. He had recently moved to the Rochester area and was in the process of starting a company to sell clothing made from Neoprene material. Océane is a clothing company using Neoprene material for their truly innovative product line. Predominantly recognized in the construction of wetsuits, Océane redefined the use of this widely versatile and comfortable material, creating a highly sophisticated, fashion-forward and comfortable product line of jackets, accessories, and bags.
