Our second featured partner and principal of Candelaria Design is Evelyn Jung. Evelyn has been with our firm for 15 years and became a partner because of her unique role with our company - Evelyn is basically our Chief Executive Officer and is the person who runs the business.
Yes, architecture is a business and many architects loose sight of that fact and do not dedicate the resources or skilled personnel to this critical function of their business. Evelyn Jung is dedicated to making our firm its best by instilling systems not only on the financial side of our business, but on the operations, personnel, HR and marketing components of our business, and does so with passion and commitment.
Evelyn started as a temporary receptionist at Candelaria Design in 2005, but soon became a full-time employee and Mark’s Executive Assistant. Three years later, as we all endured the great recession, she became the Director of Finance and HR, and in 2018, we were proud to make Evelyn a partner.
When Evelyn is not managing the business, she loves to spend time with her family and keep active. She and her husband Scott Jung just celebrated their 10th Wedding Anniversary in June (2020) and have two wonderful boys, Nathan and Evan.
