The designer of 2019 pandas is Tong Fang.
I met Tong Fang (the English name she uses is Taylor) today after the Panda Launch and saw the original clay relief and plaster for the 2019 Panda coins. I was very impressed with her and her work. The Panda Launch itself was excellent, too. Also, now that I have seen the coins let's just say that I like how they look in reality better than in the photos I have seen so far. I am looking forward to photographing them and will post samples here as soon as possible.
Best wishes,
