Sue Jean Chung

Sue Jean Chung is a founding principal of Studio JCI, an innovative architectural practice focusing on residential and urban scale mixed-use developments.

Working together with her husband, Jaegap Chung, they have stewarded growth for Studio JCI from the two of them to over 40 people, growing the office with staff located in Toronto and Colombia.  Starting with small, single family homes, they have grown the firm to now provide services for multi-phase, multi-unit high rise projects.

With a strong aptitude in understanding how things come together, Sue Jean is able to unite diverse disciplines to achieve project success, fostering collaboration to deliver results.

In addition, Sue Jean is on the executive leadership team for her church, Toronto Next Chapter, a new micro-church format start up. She has been involved in church leadership (both administrative and as a worship leader) for over 30 years, with a deep joy in seeing the Body of Christ united.

What she has seen for herself over the past 5 years is a convergence between spiritual and business paradigms, and seeing how God actively invites us to be involved in both.

Expectation:

"Looking at the past and seeing how God has uniquely shaped her, I'm feeling that we are entering into a new chapter of things, with potential for greater scale of impact.  Praying into what God's will and plan is, ensuring my heart is in the right place to remember we are only stewards, and focusing on allowing God's plan to unfold"
