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

Hi ngai, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I pursued an artistic and creative career because it allows me to express myself to the world in the most authentic way. Photography and videography are the best outlets for me to showcase my ideas, beliefs, and creativity. Through my work, I can share stories, evoke emotions, and leave a lasting impression on people. It’s how I communicate who I am and what I want to be known for

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art is unique because it reflects my personal journey, experiences, and emotions in a way that stands apart from others. I’m most proud of the progress I’ve made so far and the creations I’ve brought to life through photography and videography. Every project feels like a step forward, and seeing how far I’ve come keeps me motivated.

It hasn’t been easy—it’s taken a lot of hard work, perseverance, and self-belief. I’ve faced challenges along the way, but I overcame them by refusing to give up, always pushing forward no matter how tough things got. Along this journey, I’ve learned valuable lessons about life and creativity, especially about staying true to myself and my vision.

What I want the world to know about me and my brand is that I’m not afraid to express myself and my art. I aim to connect with people, evoke emotions, and tell stories that matter. Through my work, I want to be remembered as someone who wasn’t afraid to be authentic and create something meaningful.

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?
There’s so many places in Dallas to explore and i haven’t even went to many of cool spots, I’ve been in Dallas my whole life in America. I’ll say to go to the Reunion Tower or The ATT discovery district, I went there a few time and it’s beautiful place to hangout especially at night. Lakes are also very popular in Dallas, my favorite one is the White Rock Lake in Dallas. For food I don’t really know much because I don’t eat out a lot. maybe I’ll say Bistro B on walnut street in North Dallas, amazing Asian food and boba drinks.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to dedicate my shoutout to FC Dallas and Dallas College for playing a huge role in my journey as a storyteller. Dallas College provided me with the foundation and education that opened the door to opportunities like my video internship at FC Dallas. That internship not only helped me grow as a creative but also allowed me to work on real projects and hone my skills in storytelling through video. I’m incredibly grateful for the support and opportunities both have given me to pursue my passion.
