Our Mission
Our mission is to inspire reflection and ignite new ideas through the art of crafting. By traveling across China, we uncover centuries-old traditional crafts made from natural materials, exploring the life philosophies behind them. We believe crafting is a transformative lifestyle, a way to shape the world you desire with your own hands—not just a hobby or a pastime. From your fingertips, crafting holds the power to change the world.

Jing
Founder of Lansei China
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.
Gui Ting
Director of Content & Ronghua
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.
Tian Le
Marketing & Operation
Motivated by Jing’s inspiring journey of leaving the banking world to start Lansei China, Tian Le later joined the team to support the marketing and operations side of the business.
With a background in German from university, Tian Le saw Lansei China as the perfect place to apply what she’s learned and make a meaningful impact.
Outside of work, Tian Le is super sporty and loves just about any outdoor activity you can think of!
Duo Duo
And then there’s Duo Duo, the calico cat they adopted after the team moved into their studio in Chengdu, Sichuan.
Duo Duo LOVES packing time—she’s obsessed with the boxes, wrapping paper, and tape! So if you’ve received a package from us, it’s definitely had the Duo Duo stamp of approval!
