My journey in custom apparel started long before I had a professional shop. As a kid, I made custom tees for my older brother and his friends, using an iron, inkjet printer and transfer paper building on a lifelong passion for art, design, and craftsmanship. Eventually, I took the very “glamorous” next step of buying a cheap heat press on Amazon and setting it up in the shed in my families backyard. I spent countless hours there experimenting, learning, and ruining plenty of T-shirts along the way. What started as a creative hobby became a lifelong craft—and the beginning of Tee Lab.

Later, I moved to Los Angeles, where I gained 10 years of professional experience creating apparel in the Los Angeles garment industry, one of the world’s major hubs for fashion, streetwear, and garment production. That experience has helped me master screen printing, embroidery, heat transfers, Direct to Film, and Direct to Garment, along with the small details that turn a basic garment into something that feels professionally made.

Today, Tee Lab is equipped with modern, professional-grade equipment capable of handling everything from one-off custom pieces to large production runs. Whether you’re building a brand, creating merch, outfitting your business, or bringing a personal idea to life, every project is made with the same focus on design, craftsmanship, and quality.
