Vincy was born to be spastic due to Cerebral Ischemia, affecting her faculties of limbs and speech. She had to suspend from school for medical treatment after two accidents a few years ago, during which she reflected on her future and realized that her true aspiration lay in art and thus actively equipped herself in the art field upon recovery. In 2005 to 2006, she completed the Higher Diploma in Graphic and Media Design with Distinction, and then obtained her Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Visual Communication (Graphic Design). After graduation, she became a freelance graphic designer and a workshop assistant at ADAHK to gain knowledge in teaching persons with disabilities.
