about nana

what is NANA?

It’s our shared passion to celebrate powerful women - we see and meet them in our everyday lives, we look up to them but we are also surrounded by them. We hang with them, talk to them, we call them our friends, and other times we’d wish we could call them our friends. They’re not only the musicians, aspiring presidents, CEOs, environmentalists, fashion designers or bloggers but as well that #spiritanimal that might just sit across you right now.

NANA is our celebration of power ladies, boss ladies, passion pushers, dreamers and creatives. Not only the the ones who shout the loudest and are most seen, but also the ones silently cheering along and paving their paths.

We celebrate the ones who inspire us to step out of comfort zones and social norms. We know it can only bring more wisdom and experience and eventually give us the realization that we are able to do and be a lot more than we’ve been taught so.

because stepping out of comfort zones can only be rewarding

who are we?

Tu Nga originally Vietnamese, born and raised in France. Made her way out to Lyon, Brussels, Reunion Island, Shanghai and currently residing in Siargao in the Philippines trying to improve her surfing skills while freelancing as a graphic designer and looking into start up possibilities on the island here.

Simona originally Chinese, born and raised in the Netherlands. Currently residing in Bangkok via Berlin, Amsterdam and Shanghai while working in the startup world right now.

We met at Nike in Shanghai and it was 🔥🔥🔥. We shared the same passion for sneakers, travel, food and wine but most of all our respect and awe towards #bossladies, not only the European versions but definitely also the ones we met in Shanghai. We thought that the world needs to know about these girls, real girls, real women. because their stories inspire all of us.

So there you go.. NANA was born.
