Jennifer Ng
Business Development Director, ASLA, PLA (she/her)
Jennifer is a landscape architect who brings a passion for community-driven design. She defines successful and inspiring designs as those that speak equally to place-making and place-keeping. The consistent theme in her projects is to create a sense of “home” and a feeling that the project was “always meant to be”. Through her practice, stewardship of the environment and culture become an everyday, every project opportunity. Jennifer was raised equally in rural New York and Chinatown, Manhattan. As a result, she has a deep appreciation for the lifestyles and landscapes that accompany rural and urban environments.
Jennifer brings over fifteen years of professional experience in the built environment, successfully shepherding projects from concept through construction. As a creative complement to her practice, Jennifer teaches, and the energy of her classes feeds her enthusiasm for practice. She co-founded DesignConnect, a non-profit with Cornell University that brings pro-bono interdisciplinary design and planning services to small towns in Upstate New York. Prior to joining Klopfer Martin Design Group, she worked with Sasaki, CMG Landscape Architecture, and Hargreaves Associates.
