Mah said:

“I'm super excited to be joining The Quarry's family and work alongside such an amazing roster. The UK's industry has been so creatively inspiring and I can't wait for what's to come!”

 

Aika added:

“Editing is my calling in life and I’m at my happiest when I’m cutting and being challenged by creative projects. This year marks 15 years since I picked up a Wacom pen back in Tokyo. I’m excited to kick off my 15th year with The Quarry family.”

 

Quarry Co-Founding Partner Paul Watts comments:

“We are super excited that Mah and Aika have chosen to be repped by The Quarry for UK projects.  With what I could only describe as a meteoric rise, they’ve been making some major waves recently, picking up numerous awards, and doing some really outstanding work. To have them working alongside us here in London is a great opportunity, and I hope that we can contribute to their current momentum.”
