Besides her career as a doctor, Lucci is also a talented illustrator. The theme of her artwork has always been a combination in medicine, animals, music, baseball, and travelling. Lucci has been using her talent to help charities. From 2003-2005, she held a two-year fundraising event for Hong Kong Children Cancer Foundation Hospital” where she designed a product line called “Pethletes”, or pet athletes, and managed to raise over HKD20,000.
