I am Evelyn Chen. 

If you're a person also chasing a dream, my story might inspire you.

I am a first-generation immigrant and graduated of New York University with 3.9 GPA.

Before moving to the U.S., I worked as a Junior UI Designer at  a top 100 e-commerce company at China. Alongside that role, I co-founded a design studio providing design services to small businesses in my first bachelor degree at China.

In 2019, during the COVID-19 pandemic, I realized I wanted to give my life a new purpose and challenge myself, so I decided to return to school to study programming.

To pursue my dream, I completed my second BS degree at NYU. To fund my tuition,I worked full-time as a UI/UX Web Designer at a design agency. For balancing work and studies, I attended 7 AM and 6 PM classes to complete my degree. Along the way, I delivered UI/UX design, web design, and branding projects for over 30 businesses in the United States. And also build solid programming foundation of IOS development, System Design, Data Structure and HCI (Human Computer Interaction), and React,js.

I'm a millennial, and I believe we're experiencing the AI revolution. As someone working in tech, I see lifelong learning as essential. 

Yes, I study, think, design, and code.

​Based in New York City.
