Dr Manny Ling holds the position of Acting Deputy Dean at the School of Communication and Design and oversees the BA Design Studies program as Senior Program Manager at RMIT Vietnam.

His unique perspective as a Chinese practitioner in the realm of Western art and design has significantly shaped his creative practice. Dr. Ling is captivated by the interplay of contrasts and contradictions in his work, exploring themes such as the intersection of traditional craftsmanship with digital innovation, the fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics, the balance between historical reverence and contemporary expression, the harmony of motion and stillness, the elegance of simplicity against the richness of complexity, and the interplay between meticulous planning and creative spontaneity.
