I was there skating and as soon as I exited the park I was approached by Andr\u00e9 Cowan who is now my manager. From there I began working with him and got signed to New icon, everything just flowed and was a bit new to me but my entrance into the industry was the best I could&#8217;ve ever asked for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best modeling experience so far?<\/strong><br \/>\nWorking with Bottega Veneta has to be hands down the best experience so far. Working with Daniel Lee in Detroit &amp; doing the show was such an amazing debut that I will be forever grateful for. Following that I went to Italy to work with Matthieu Blazys collection, making that my first ever international flight experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Currently you&#8217;re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong><br \/>\nAt the moment I have been obsessed with holistic remedies and overall anything regarding health &amp; wellbeing. This includes buying more vegetables, herbs, tea, &amp; healthier choices when it comes to snacks. This interest sparked in my mind due to me wanting to feel more energized without needing coffee and improve my exercise routine as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is something you\u2019ve always wanted to do\/try?<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve always wanted to be Spider-Man and work with Sony Pictures, movies have a way of making someone feel strong emotions if executed correctly. And being a part of a project with such impact and positive influence is on my list of things I shall do before I leave this earth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you want to make an impact in the world?<\/strong><br \/>\nI would love to show others what it takes to win and achieve your goals and dreams to believe in yourself and your path because a lot of people already have it in them. And simply by showing the world how my path unfolded, I believe strongly that others will be pushed and motivated to try things differently &amp; efficiently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the best piece of advice you\u2019ve ever been given?<\/strong><br \/>\nSome of the best advice I have ever been given is, &#8220;Quitters never win &amp; winners never quit&#8221;. I used this as subconscious reprogramming by mentally speaking that sentence to myself whenever I felt like giving up or quitting on any given task or goal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ridan was photographed exclusively for MODELS.com by Lindsay Perryman (assisted by Olivia Harris), with styling by Adrianna Espinal.
