From my private Georgetown workshop & studio in Washington, D.C., I create bespoke embroidery for garments, accessories, and select custom commissions.

The studio operates by appointment only and serves exclusively as a secure drop-off and pick-up location for client projects.

I also accept select invitations from retailers, private clubs, and luxury brands to provide on-site embroidery services and special event activations.

For inquiries, commissions, or appointment requests, please contact via email: Ricardo@ricardojposada.com.

What To Avoid:

The studio does not accept structured hats, thick leather, heavily seamed garments, highly elastic fabrics, or items that cannot lay flat within the embroidery frame.

Materials containing high amounts of elastane, garments with zippers or pockets directly behind the embroidery area, and pieces with difficult-to-access placement zones may also not be suitable for embroidery.

If you are unsure about your item, feel free to email a photo for confirmation before booking.
