OUR STORY

“It all began with a dragon boat session for the Deaf one weekend in 2012”

Over time, our vision to progress our society into an inclusive future has only grown. What started as a weekend project, Deaf Dragons, has now morphed into a sustainable venture with a bigger purpose – the social enterprise Society Staples is today.

Today, we’ve grown in strength, winning multiple awards on local and international platforms, but we have bigger dreams for social inclusion. We dream of an inclusive future where PWDs are part of the mainstream — the staple — and our venture will no longer be needed.

OUR MISSION

“To Create an Inclusive Future”

We want to create an inclusive future where every PWD can maximize his/her potential and be embraced as an integral member of their society.

By leveraging on mass engagement platforms and being that binding force that “staples” PWDs and society together, our intervention allows for social communication and action to take place and grow towards an inclusive world.

IN OUR NAME

We are named Society Staples because:

Society Staples our name We see PWDs as a staple of society.

Society Staples in our name Until this becomes a norm, we will be that binding force that "staples" PWDs and society together.

IN OUR LOGO

Red and blue quote marks represent the dialogue that takes place between PWDs and the rest of society.

The overlapping orange zone between quote marks represent Society Staples intervention, where social communication and action takes place to grow an inclusive society.

OUR TEAM

We are a bunch of individuals that cares deeply about Persons with Disabilities. More so, we eat, live and breathe anything to inclusion because that’s the core of who we are.

Check out our little team and who knows, you might just be one of us really soon.

Ryan Ng

CO-FOUNDER,
CUSTOMER ACQUISITION & BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

If you want to create the next kickass event and have a splendid time with your coworkers, Ryan is your go-to guy. He is also the one that creates magic behind the work in Society Staples and churns out endless innovative ideas at the speed of 100km/h.

Fun Fact:

Ryan may respond to you with sounds and grunts in replacement of words. He can eat chicken rice every day for lunch and makes it a mandate to walk every aisle of the supermarket before heading home. According to him, that’s how he gains inspirations to create better experiences for clients. 招财猫 (fortune cats) are his favourite thing, and he secretly dreams of being Superman so he can help everyone and solve all the social issues in the world.

Debra Lam

CO-FOUNDER,
COMMUNICATIONS, FINANCE & OPERATIONS

Debra is responsible for ensuring all sorts of corporate governance and finance stuff are in place. Extremely meticulous, she leaves no stone unturned and you can be guaranteed that every engagement will be executed flawlessly.

Fun Fact:

If there is one thing that is torturous to Debra, it’s keeping quiet. A slight belly pooch now replaces her six packs and she loves being around water but hates the rain. She invites you to add on to the list of first impressions of her which includes loud and annoying, chilli padi and dwarf – all of which are somewhat true.

Bernice Lim

HEAD,
MARKETING & PARTNERSHIPS

Bernice is the reason that we have constant updates on social media. She is also our connection to the ground, consistently engaging voluntary welfare organisations to understand their pain points so our solutions are crafted with the most updated information.

Fun Fact:

If you are an aspiring actor looking to upgrade your plethora of facial expressions, find Bernice. She has extremely good facial muscle control, and can even present an expression that encompasses three or more emotions. She doesn’t like choosing where to eat for lunch and loves her dog, Ocean, a lot. Like really,
A LOT.

Heng Li Seng

EXECUTIVE,
OPERATIONS

Fondly known for being a sim (yes that old school game) in office, Li Seng influenced everyone to buy metal straws in a bid to #savetheenvironment.

He cuddles teddy bears while working and thinks his best trait is his physical attractiveness. He is now on a quest to nudge more people to be greener.
