Our story / Oak Lawn, IL
BUILT
DIFFERENT.
Quality work starts with caring about the person behind the order.

Personal pieces. Made to mean something.
LOCAL ROOTS.
PERSONAL SERVICE.
Needle & Spark is a veteran-owned, owner-operated custom apparel and personalization studio based in Oak Lawn, Illinois. What began with hands-on apparel and personalized-product work has grown into a studio serving businesses, teams, schools, events and individual customers.
Some projects start with a finished logo. Others start with a rough idea, a special occasion or a garment someone wants to make their own. We help bring the product, artwork and decoration method together so the finished piece represents you well.
You work directly with people who care about the result. We discuss the details — including placement, quantity and timing — before production, so the work starts with a shared understanding.
Veteran-owned. Personally operated.
SERVICE BEFORE SELF.
Our veteran identity lives in how we work: attention to detail, integrity and a commitment to follow through.
That means honest conversations about what will work, care in the small details and respect for the people trusting us with their projects.
