Tyla Thorpe
Artist & Founder
Kia ora, I'm Tyla.
I'm the artist and founder of Manawa Tāngata, where I create artwork inspired by the culture, wildlife and natural beauty of Aotearoa.
My passion is creating meaningful designs that tell a story. Whether it's one of our Hauora Lights, a piece of home décor or a custom project, every design begins as original artwork before being brought to life using modern manufacturing techniques.
I love combining creativity with technology to produce unique pieces that people are proud to display in their homes or gift to family and friends.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. I hope you enjoy exploring my work.
