After having authoring a Chinese blog on Finnish life, design, and creativity for over 7 years, I decided to start sharing some contents of it in English from year 2010 for friends who are interested in my take on Finnish design, but not able to read Chinese yet. At the moment there are not many articles yet, but they are coming. If you want, welcome to to have a look on my Chinese blog here, and you are more than welcome to subscribe this blog for what I have to say.
You are also welcome to check my Flickr albums to see if any picture interests you. Any co-operation proposals are welcomed!
About me
Tsui-Shan Tu. Born in Taipei, graduated in Denmark, living in Finland.
Since I moved to Finland my career has been developing in two parallel directions at the same time. On the one line I continue my freelancing writing career in cooperation with Taiwanese media; on the other line I have numerous full-time working experience in both Finnish public and private sectors, in which Finnish is the working language.
Writer:
Two books published in 2007. The book “Pure Finland” was awarded by Chinatimes in 2007 as one of the annual books in the category of “design and lifestyle”.
Pure Finland (in traditional Chinese, published in Taiwan in 2007)
Finnish life, design, and creativity (in traditional Chinese, published in Taiwan in 2007)
Pure Finland (in simplified Chinese, published in mainland China in 2009)
Below is the book promoting video made for my awarded book “Pure Finland”, produced by Chinatimes OpenBook Award and Leading Creatives production company. In this video I talked about my observation on Finnish design and my motivation of writing this book. Video language is Chinese.
Column writer for Chinese language magazines and corporate websites :
