Diary of a spectacle designer

‘Bloody hell,’ is what I’ve been thinking all month. It started with me transiting through Hong Kong in January. I smiled for the camera in the first-class lounge with a glass of champagne and face mask for my Facebook. I also had a bottle of Corona – which doesn’t seem that funny now.

I remember Sars and the kerfuffle around it – big news of course, but it didn’t really affect me that much in those days. As my business has grown around the world, I find myself exposed to global events in a way you’d only expect mega-companies to experience. In the true spirit of globalisation, events like the outbreak in China affect us all.
