About me

I co-run Airside Nippon in Tokyo. After 10 years of working at Airside in London, it was time to bring over some of the Airside sense and spirit to Nippon.

We specialise in graphic design and animation. Our studio is located in Kabukicho, Shinjuku. We are quite friendly so do stop by and join us for a cup of tea (bring biscuits).
