珍妮接觸中西文化、藝術始於幼年時父母半世紀前從英國遠渡重洋涉足香港工作。
某年初中暑假一個偶然機會，被母親引薦到一家高級時裝創意研發、生產工廠當暑期見習生。
首天上班，珍妮被安排剪來年季節布片的機會而接觸到從沒有見過那麼多的色彩繽紛面料，叫本來就醉心設計工作的她，樂不可支，視此份工作為優差。
及至暑期工作到尾聲，珍妮充滿不捨離情中又帶著一顆期待明年再來的心情跟工廠各同事話別。
重返校園後，課餘時間珍妮腦海中總浮現出昔日見到海外時裝設計師們在廠內跟技術、採購部門同事洽談工作的影像，那一切設計的款色、剪裁上線條和面料顏色的運用，種種的工作上耳濡目染的點滴，竟在她的心海播藏一顆”要從事設計”的種子……完成學業後到執業當老師的她仍不斷利用空餘時間自學設計手工藝，取材半寶石和東方玉石；創製出獨特中、西文化交融的純手藝限量版飾物，以供愛好優質時尚飾物女仕們一個另類的選擇。
