Sue Jean Chung graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Toronto.  She is a founding principal of Studio JCI, an innovative multidisciplinary practice focusing on residential and urban scale mixed-use developments. 

She carries a firm belief that successful city building includes both contextually sensitive architectural design at a macro scale and micro level execution to ensure the quality of spaces contained also promote well being and functionality. Sue Jean’s rigor and commitment are essential to the success of the many projects she leads at Studio JCI, and she has contributed to over 2000 residential suites in the Greater Toronto and Greater Golden Horseshoe areas.

Showing strong leadership skills, she has successfully navigated her clientele through initial feasibility studies through to project close out, with a keen awareness of understanding construction methodologies and industry standards to ensure the initial design concepts are carried through to project completion.

In addition, Sue Jean makes an active impact through her commitment to several community organizations.  Through her involvement as a BEAT Toronto member Sue Jean uses her experience and position to encourage equality and diversity within the industry and beyond.  In 2022, she was inducted as a member of the WLI Championship team, an award spotlighting influential women who exhibit leadership in real estate development, land use and city-building.

To share her extensive knowledge in the architecture and design industry, Sue Jean founded a lecture series titled JCI Learn in efforts to play an active role in the professional development and mentoring of upcoming architects. Her topics of discussion range from understanding the big picture to narrowing it down to the art of construction drawings.
