Andrew D. Manning

Since 2007, Andrew Manning has been honing his skills in acting. Originally exposed to the arts through ballet, Andrew found himself at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts where his passion for acting sparked. He continued his theater training at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts where he received his Bachelors of Fine Arts in acting. Upon graduating college in 2015, Andrew has worked on a variety of network television shows, Off-Broadway plays, and many short and feature films. With the drive to continue to grow as an artist and story-teller Andrew ventured into modeling. Andrew's modeling career took off to great start after booking New York Fashion Week. NYFW opened the door to shoots with notable photographers, and collaborations with high fashion boutiques and designers in NYC and around the world. As a model, Andrew was able to express himself through other designer's clothing; as well as help tell the many narratives these designers were passionate about in creating their collections. Inspired to share his style and culture, Andrew began designing his own clothes. After two years of listening, learning, and planning, on February 12, 2019 Andrew Manning's clothing line ADM (ADangerousMind) presented its first collection in New York Fashion Week.
