Jinno Neko graduated with a degree in Fashion Design from the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education. While studying, she became interested in Japanese art and culture. In 2007, she began to use paper-mâché as a medium, and the Japanese folk toy dog “Inu Hariko” as her inspiration to create Jinno dog, also known as “Jinno Inu” in different forms, while integrating bamboo crafting techniques into her creations.

Jinno Neko has showcased her works at several individual and joint exhibitions while collaborating with different art and commercial organizations. In 2011, she took part in Dispatchwork Worldwide organized by Berlin artist Jan Vornman to restore Hong Kong’s historical buildings with Lego bricks. In the following year, Jinno Neko combined traditional bamboo crafting techniques with fashion design and participated in a joint exhibition organized by Groovisions, a design studio based in Japan, and LCX, a fashion store in Hong Kong. In 2014, Jinno Neko collaborated with Sony Music and used stray cats as the theme of her paintings to reflect on the connection between human beings and the environment. ​
