About Tiny Siren

The Team

Matt Bruneau-Richardson

Founder & Creative Director

Matt Bruneau-Richardson has been drawing for as long as he can remember, and at 15 began making those drawings move when he started teaching himself how to animate. After studying animation at the Art Institute of Boston and New England Institute of Art, Matt got his degree in Writing, Literature, and Publishing from Emerson College. Now, he blends these two studies together into visual storytelling.

Jak "Mr. Panda" Khampadith

Animator

Jak, aka: Mr. Panda, has been an artist since he was about 11 or 12 years old. He began by mimicking a manga panel from "Shonen Jump," and thought to himself "I'm pretty good at this!" That's when he knew he wanted to be an artist. His inspiration comes from Japanese manga and anime, and American cartoons and comics. He attended NEIA, pursuing media arts and animation, and would like to one day be an art teacher.
