Biography
Jeffrey Ng aka jeffstaple
Jeffrey Ng aka jeffstaple, 33, has masterfully created a world of communicating through design. The founder and owner of Staple Design, Staple Clothing and Reed Space, Jeff is a graphic, web and clothing designer, artist, DJ, writer and entrepreneur.

Born in New Jersey, Jeff attended New York University to study journalism. While in college, he worked as an entry-level data clerk at a design firm. Jeff quickly learned and eventually became a class instructor at the firm in less than 6 months. He then realized his growing passion for graphic design, dropped out of NYU and enrolled himself at Parsons School of Design in Fall 1995 to study Communications Design.
His first break happened in 1997, when Jeff walked into the Triple Five Soul boutique in SoHo wearing a hand-printed Staple t-shirt. The manager took notice and placed the first ever order of 12 T-shirts from the line. With Staple's door officially open for business, Jeff successfully turned his one man T-shirt business into a mens collection as well as a full-service design firm; opening Staple Design that year and his own retail store/art gallery, Reed Space, in 2002.

Staying very firmly grounded to the values in which the Staple brand was created-sticking to the basic necessities needed in life, Staple Design has also created work for Burton Snowboards, Converse, The Gap, HBO, Housing Works, Levi's, LVMH, New Balance, New Museum of Contemporary Art, Nike, NYC&Co., Puma, Timberland, Uniqlo and more.
