We had the good fortune of connecting with Nyi Mulan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nyi, how do you think about risk?
Risk. when we talk about risk within my career , all that comes to mind is putting everything on the line in the name of living the life i desire and love. Working within the fashion industry has many highs but never forget it also comes with occasional heartbreak.. From bad jobs to not getting booked for a long time but when you love what you do , you continue to push through every door that was shut on you and create a bigger room that was there to begin with.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Well my form of creating art is modeling! I am a freelance print model who is 13 times published in multiple countries. I also am a self published author who has a ebook on how to start out as a beginner freelance model. The way i got into modeling was building home studios as a fun hobby but I decided to take the industry seriously & become the paid print models I always wanted to be. What i am most proud of is how far My small team & I took my modeling career without an agency, i have been booked for the last six months non stop and being published internationally is amazing! Was any of this easy ? not at all ! with all these accomplishments came plenty of tears and heartache but i continued to persevere through the pressure to make my dreams accessible. Lessons i learned along the way are , to keep going ! no matter how many times you feel like giving up , things eventually work themselves out and with enough patience and effort your dreams are yours. What i want the world to know about me & my brand is that I stand with the dream chasers , you can do it ! that dream that people said was too big for you , find a way to make it yours and never stop until it is !

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Well since i currently reside in jersey , an ideal time for my bestfriend to visit is summer ! i would take them to wildwood or ocean city to enjoy the beach , boardwalk and amusement piers each beach has to offer.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
The people who deserve credit in my story is my team ! from my manager , to my personal photographer @Drasticvisuals , these people deserve most credit because they motivate me to continue to push myself to be bigger and dont ever hesitate to help bring my visions to life.
