Jing started Lansei China after wrapping up her career at an international bank in Dubai. Now, she leads Lansei’s R&D, traveling around China to discover centuries-old traditional crafts made from natural materials. She’s passionate about the philosophies behind these crafts and loves finding ways to reimagine them for modern life. Through LANSEI, Jing is bringing these beautiful crafts back to people who appreciate them while also supporting local artisans to keep these traditions alive for future generations.

Jing’s love for crafting runs in the family. Her grandfather was a bamboo-weaving artisan in Sichuan, and it’s always been a regret that she never had the chance to preserve his work before he passed. After years of living and working abroad, she started craving something more cultural and meaningful—something beyond just chasing profits. That’s when she rediscovered her interest in Chinese crafts, and that’s how Lansei China was born.

As Lansei China’s Content Director and lead Ronghua maker, Gui Ting is known for having the most skillful hands on the team. She’s someone who loves working with her hands and really connects with the craftsmanship process. Always eager to learn, she’s constantly experimenting with new crafts, DIY tricks, and tips—though Ronghua will always be her favorite!

With a background in Staging Arts in the film industry, Gui Ting brings her creativity to life by crafting engaging content and tutorials for Lansei. Outside of work, she’s a huge fan of Han Fu (traditional clothing worn by the Han Chinese) and is obsessed with Chinese dramas.

Tang didn’t just join Lansei; she chose us with her whole heart. After a long conversation with Jing, she packed up her life in another province (a three-hour flight away!) and trusted that this was where she was meant to be. She has practiced ronghua since 2021, exploring every path — from being an independent artisan to live-stream collaborations — but nothing resonated with her like Lansei’s story and purpose. Now she leads our finished-piece design and production, bringing her imagination to life with calm confidence. She is also the face behind many of our product shoots — so if she looks familiar on our website or social media, now you know why.

Tang also enjoys chatting with our studio cats (Duo Duo and Sao Sao) and occasionally tries to share her extremely healthy snacks… which the rest of us politely decline. Outside the studio, she can be found sketching in nature or traveling with her many friends — she insisted we emphasize “many.”
