Meet The Principals: Evelyn Jung
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.
Evelyn was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, but lived and traveled all over the world as her parents served in the Air Force for over 20 years. Traveling at a very young age gave Evelyn a great appreciation of different cultures, religions and styles.
She started off working in management pretty early in life and then decided to join a Temp Agency to focus on school full time. From there, Evelyn got a temp job at Candelaria Design as a receptionist but soon became a a full-time employee in 2005 and became 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 aspect of the firm, she loves to spend time with her family and stay active. She and husband Scott Jung celebrated their 10th Wedding Anniversary in June (2020) and have two wonderful boys, Nathan and Evan. Her pursuit for a degree at ASU was sidelined during this time, but slowly and surely she plans to graduate with a Bachelors Degree of Science in Economics in 2021 – for her kids at the very least!
