Carmen is a people-driven entrepreneur. Since the age of 25, she has been running her own ventures, including her namesake jewelry brand, Carmen Chan Jewelry; creative agency, Studio C; and lately, her new social business, Girls Be Change. Carmen Chan Jewelry celebrates the beauty of imperfection through jewelry and accessory design. Carmen was awarded as the finalist of Lane Crawford Calling Out For the Next New 2015 and highlighted in Facebook #SheMeansBusiness in 2016. Her jewelry designs were featured in international press including Cosmopolitan, Elle, Fashion One, Harper’s Bazaar, Tatler, Vanity Fair, and more. Studio C is a creative agency that provides public relations, marketing, and design services. Founded in 2013, Studio C worked with clients from a variety of backgrounds and sectors, including Taylor Swift, Marriott International, AXA, Johnson & Johnson, The Lane Crawford Joyce Group, Chow Sang Sang, Hang Lung Properties, Hong Kong Design Centre, Affordable Art Fair, The University of Hong Kong, Press Start Academy, and more.

Working closely with women-empowering and anti-trafficking nonprofits such as Sons & Daughters (Hong Kong) and Daughters Rising (Thailand), Carmen spent years understanding the pain points and struggles of underserved women and refugees, and finally decided to transform her expertise in problem solving throughout her journey of entrepreneurship into this new venture with the goal to eradicate gender inequality collectively.
