THE COMMUNITY NINJA — A CONVERSATION WITH RON OF NINJA STITCH LA

At Ninja Stitch LA, the focus is about more than just thread count and perfect alignment; it’s about weaving the company directly into the fabric of the community. We sat down with Ron (Ronen), the dedicated owner behind the Los Angeles custom embroidery and screen printing powerhouse, to discuss how their business model is built around giving back through non‑profit support and engaging educational workshops.

The Heart of the Studio

Q: Ron, Ninja Stitch has always stood out for its commitment to craft. Can you tell us how your focus on quality—using high‑end Japanese machinery and threads—translates into a reliable partnership for local organizations?

Ron: Our goal is to bring a client’s logo to life with precision and durability, and that standard is non‑negotiable, especially for our non‑profit partners. When an organization like Para Los Niños or the Boys & Girls Club is fundraising or spreading awareness, their merchandise needs to be perfect. The quality of our embroidery and printing means their logos look sharp, their garments last longer, and they can present their brand with confidence. We make sure their branding efforts shine, which is crucial for maximizing their impact.

Impact & Investment

Q: Your support for Los Angeles non‑profits is a major part of your mission. Why is it so important for Ninja Stitch to dedicate resources and services to these groups?

Ron: We’ve been operating in LA for a decade, and we owe our success to this community. Supporting non‑profits is our way of directly reinvesting in the city and the people who need it most. We recently helped the Boys & Girls Club and Para Los Niños with their holiday needs, and it was incredibly rewarding. Non‑profits often work on tight budgets, and we understand that great merchandise—whether it’s embroidered hats or screen‑printed tees—is essential for their marketing and fundraising efforts. We see ourselves as their branding experts, helping them stretch every dollar while still delivering an exceptional product.

Q: You’re running a busy small business that has to turn a profit. We’ve seen you go above and beyond for our organization, Do Something Cool—whether it’s the custom Dickies jackets that were a huge hit, or turning around our Nike shoes and other shirts on literally a day’s notice. Why do you go the extra mile to support community organizations like ours?

Ron: That’s a fair question, but for us, the profit margin isn’t the only measure of success—impact is just as important. When we collaborate with Do Something Cool, we’re doing more than printing; we’re directly supporting a mission. The positive feedback on those Dickies jackets was amazing—that custom work really resonated! And getting your team those Nike shoes and shirts ready so fast for your events is simply what you deserve as a dedicated community partner. We love seeing how our work contributes to initiatives like the Keep On Keep On Art Project, which provides youth access to supplies and self‑expression. It’s rewarding for our team to know that our high‑quality craft is being used to fuel meaningful causes right here in Los Angeles. That’s the real return on investment for Ninja Stitch.

The Craft of Community

Q: Moving from business to education, you host embroidery classes in the Arts District. What inspired you to open up your studio and teach the craft to the public?

Ron: There’s a certain magic to the process of embroidery, and we love sharing it. These classes are more than just tutorials; they’re about demystifying the craft and empowering people, especially those who dream of launching their own clothing brand. We cover everything from the basics of machine operation to preparing art files and even the business side, like pricing strategies. We want to be a resource for the next generation of creators right here in LA. It’s about building a community of makers.

Q: What is the most common misconception people have when they first try embroidery, and what’s the key lesson you hope every class attendee takes away?

Ron: The biggest misconception is how simple the process is! People often underestimate the complexity of turning a digital logo into a beautiful, wearable embroidered piece—it requires a deep understanding of thread types, stitch density, and ‘digitizing’ the artwork. The key lesson I want everyone to take away is perseverance. Like any craft or business, you have to commit to practice every day. I also hope they leave feeling inspired to use their newfound skills to create something that has meaning, perhaps even supporting a cause they care about.

Q: Looking ahead, how do you see Ninja Stitch continuing to blend quality commercial service with community engagement in the years to come?

Ron: We will keep pushing the limits of custom printing and embroidery technology, always ensuring our clients—especially our non‑profit partners—get the highest quality product. On the community side, we plan to expand our workshop offerings and continue seeking out meaningful partnerships. For us, every stitch we put into a piece of apparel is a stitch that connects us more deeply to Los Angeles. That dedication to craft and community is the core of who we are.
