About Me
Designer · Lecturer · Researcher
I am TungTung, a designer, lecturer, and researcher with a Master’s degree in Design from the University of the Arts London. My background combines academic research, teaching, and hands-on creative practice.
My creative work focuses on original hand-drawn and handmade designs inspired by flowers, plants, butterflies, and everyday life. I personally create the artwork, work with physical materials, and carefully hand-assemble each piece, balancing professional design knowledge with traditional handmade processes.
Beyond design and teaching, I enjoy baking, traveling, and experiencing different cultures. These life experiences influence my creative approach, bringing warmth, care, and a human touch into every handmade gift set.

Master's Degree in Design
Specialized in visual and product design with extended expertise in color application, branding (CIS), digital marketing, and web design.
Return to a Vanished Light: How a Visit to V&A Dundee Reignited My Scottish Tartan Research
In October, I visited the V&A Dundee and stood before the recreated Mackintosh Tearoom. A conversation with the exhibition staff revealed that the Glasgow School of Art—an architectural treasure I first visited in 2003—had been devastated by two major fires. The news struck me with deep sorrow. This moment of loss unexpectedly reawakened my desire to continue my earlier research on Scottish tartan and explore how cultural heritage can be reinterpreted through contemporary design and AI technology.
Scottish Tartan
Scottish tartan began with early Celtic weaving traditions and later became a marker of regional and clan identity. After its revival in the 19th century, tartan transformed into a national cultural emblem and continues to inspire contemporary fashion, design, and digital reinterpretation.
