Manu Tampied is a Chilean-Urguayan American currently located in Miami, Florida. Having graduated from the University Of Central Florida in the spring of 2023 with a BFA in Emerging Media: Experimental Animation, they hope to get their foot in the door into the animation industry as either a storyboard artist or character designer. Their work focuses mainly on musical numbers, adventure, and action.

​

Most of their work is influenced by musicals and instrumental music since they played the cello as a kid. Eventually, they started drawing while listening to music, which led them to do most, if not all of their storytelling to music.

When they're not at school or working, Manu is either swimming, reading, baking, or making really cool earrings.
