With a sigh, I turn the lights and radio off, and shut my office door for the last time.

After almost 5 1/2 years and 5 international design awards later, I have decided to resign from my position as Head of Industrial Design and Senior Manager at Nakamichi.

Today the 8th August or 08/08/08 was my last day in the office. The decision to leave was a tough one, but I believe it is time for me to move on. I never realized it but this day happens to be a cosmically auspicious day to the Chinese, not to mention the start of the Olympics! “Eight” in Mandarin rhymes with “Fa” which means luck and prosperity.

So while I’m pretty sad leaving behind some great colleagues, it looks to me like a happy ending that is going to lead into a flying start!
