London > Tokyo
Airside was founded in 1998 by Alex Maclean, Nat Hunter and Fred Deakin. The highly acclaimed design studio located in North London led the creative scene in illustration, graphic design, animation and digital media for over 14 years, winning dozens of awards from D&AD, Design Week Awards to BAFTAs.
In 2011 Airside Nippon officially launched in Japan. Henki Leung, one of the longest serving Airsider left London to help set up the Tokyo branch with Hiromi Tsuchiya, who was Airside's agent in Japan. Together they run Airside Nippon's daily operations and continue flying the Airside flag.
