Jeannette quickly made Barcelona her permanent place of residence, as she had begun working for several different design magazines, where she did a lot of styling and design, as well as working for 'El Pa's Semanal'.

Jeannette was beginning to accumulate her preferences and knowledge within the styling and design parameters, and was a clear and precise person with a lot on her mind, and a thirst to prove her worth and her potential. She had a lot of experience in the three particular areas of art direction, design, and consulting, which made her quite capable of understanding and conceiving bigger things and projects in one go.

They became partners, and along with Manel Molina they formed the firm Lievore Altherr Molina officially in 1991, where they enjoyed massive worldwide appeal with their many clients and unique designs. Their work together has been acknowledged many times, and praises have been heaped upon them with so many accolades and awards, as they continuously expand and grow with each venture.

Jeannette Altherr is also the author of the book 'Children Only', and it is published by Carles Broto.
