Samuel made tees for our wedding and they were a huge hit. He was super responsive and accommodating and helped us figure out the best print method for our needs. He was also so thoughtful and saved a couple tees for us to print ourselves at his shop when we came to pick up (since they're wedding tees, he wanted to give us a special / more sentimental experience). It was so kind and truly did make the experience memorable. He has some amazing poster prints at his shop too. Highly recommend Rise Above for high quality prints! read more

We have enjoyed screen printing services from Rise Above for the past year or so for our small business. Staff are friendly and accommodating and orders are completed well and in a timely manner. Location is convenient and there has always been plenty of street parking available in the neighborhood. Would enjoy an online payment/deposit option rather than going in person to make a payment or deposit, and would appreciate more regular business hours for pick-ups etc. Definitely recommend, great service! read more

I have spent the better part of my week looking for someone to take my cash money in exchange for some 2 color printed on shirts. I went to 5 store fronts and made countless calls. Rise above answered the phone every time I called. Rise above quoted me a price that was cheaper by double digits than all the competitors I was able to reach. Rise above was at the store when they were supposed to be. Rise above did not want me to fill my house with shirts to meet the minimum order. My shirts were done beautifully and by some miracle Gabriela was able to answer my plea for help and get them done on a ridiculous schedule. I'm now a fan of rise above. So are the fans of my band. The shirts sold out. read more

I had a short run, last minute (about 1 week) t shirt job that needed for my upcoming performance. Gabriela was fantastic! She was very quick and professional! She did exactly what I expected and her work was top quality. I'm referring some other friends to her as well. I loved working with her AND she's local. A true artist that supports the arts and has a great business sense. read more

Rise Above Graphics Screen Printing - D.Edward music t-shirt created by Rise Above Graphics in Oakland - Screen Printing Near Me - Oakland, California

First time screen printing with this company and I wouldn't have to go anywhere else. Definitely, my go to shop for my future prints. Gabriela and Sam were awesome! read more

After reading some very good reviews about "Rise Above Graphics" and seeing the samples of other work, I decided to give them a try for t-shirts that I wanted for a reunion BBQ. Gabriela was very helpful in describing the different colors that she had available and how the graphics would appear after printing. The prices for the t-shirts were very reasonable. My only comment (and this is a very minor thing since I was limited in budget) was that I would have liked to scale my design for the different sizes of t-shirt we printed on - that would have been another set-up fee. But, if there was some way we could have used a large graphic and crop it for smaller shirts, that would earn another star. Overall, very good experience for me and I would definitely go back for other screen printing needs. read more

Rise Above is fantastic, and everything I love to support: independent, local, creative, small business, hands-on, service-oriented, flexible, woman owned. That said, I wouldn't be a repeat customer unless they were also HIGHEST QUALITY and EFFICIENT. Gabriela was helpful and patient with me through the whole design process, and our team loves our shirts. Get thee to Rise Above for any of your screen printing needs read more

Amazing quality, amazing attitude, and single mom owned! Single mom power! Our shirts turned out amazing, we got these done last September and the print still looks fabulous. Very Impressed... read more

Gabriela has been responsive, a good communicator, and kind. She's been helpful in getting our orders out always on time or early. We are a youth summer camp, and the t-shirts look just as the mock up did -- they look awesome, and the kids love them! It can be hard to impress middle schoolers, but Rise Above did it. read more

Gabriela is incredible. We always use her services for our custom club shirts at our middle school. She is patient, understanding, and, most importantly, always makes something that looks incredible and more often than not comes back early. Love her and love her work! read more

Dear Gabriela & Rise Above Graphics, We at Handsome in Pink LOVE you. You are dependable, affordable, friendly, and do an EXCELLENT job every single time. You're awesome. As an online t-shirt company that has been making tees since 2007, we switched around several times because we were so unhappy with the work of other screen printing companies in the Bay Area who were out to rip us off, not admit mistakes they made, and just do a cheap job-- once we found you however, we have not ever considered another. Thank you so very much. We'd give you more than 5 stars if we could! read more

This little shop did an awesome job for a small run on my t-shirts and totebags. The pricing was very fair for such a small order. I was able to come in and: 1) look at t-shirt swatches so I could accurately see the colors of the shirts; 2) take a look at ink colors; 3) go to a press check to make sure the graphics were positioned correctly. I love knowing that I've supported a small business in the Bay Area and not only that, that they actually do a great job. Turnaround time was 5 days from the press check which was insanely fast (would probably be longer for larger orders, obviously). Moreover, Gabriela responded to all of my panicky emails for an entire week (I was very paranoid about handing this job off to a shop I only knew of from Yelp reviews), answering my questions late into the night and over the weekend. I hope I have another excuse to bring more work to them soon! read more

Personal connection, excellent communication, follow up questions, clear guide lines, delivered on time. If you want more than this you're being greedy and should get professional help. Actually you could just get it from Rise Above. That's how good they are. read more

Gabriela at Rise Above did a GREAT job hand printing our tour logo on a variety of sizes and fabrics. Plus she was gracious and timely...a real benefit and a pleasure! read more

Gabriala rocks. Her service is great and her prices can't be beat. She has a broad selection of Organic cotton and great looking shirts and her turn around is really speedy. I was very impressed and our shirts were outstanding! We'll definitely be using Rise Above again int he future. read more

Creative, great quality, and good prices. Rise Above really does. I love the shirts they make, and I love supporting such a cool local business. read more

I needed T-shirts to advertise my business and I asked a couple of people who were in the nail salon with me, and incredibly they both recommended the same place. One was unsure about the name but they both knew the location. I went to Rise Above as soon as I left the nail salon and I was greeted by the comforting spirit of the owner, the very proficient Gabriela Laz. She was able to look at my website and make wonderful suggestions as to what I was trying to explain to her I wanted. The end result was beautiful t-shirts in different sizes that everyone wants. I am quite pleased with my experience at Rise Above and with Gabriela and I would highly recommend her for your silk screening projects. read more

Rise Above did a great job with our order (Oakland Bike Polo). The shirts were finished in a timely manner and the print quality is damn good. Communication and response times were pretty good, with email seeming to be the preferred method of contact (or visit their storefront during business hours). Pricing was reasonable and I would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend them to a friend. Our club is stoked - Thanks! :) read more

Gabriela was awesome! She immediately sent both a quote and a link to all the colors and sizes for shirt options and confirmed availability for the shirts we needed. The T-shirt's are great quality and she was so accommodating to get them printed in time for our event. Thank you Gabriela! Really made our group look great! read more

Rise Above is fantastic! Gabriela and her team have made beautiful screen printed t-shirts and tanks for my cycling studio, RIDE Oakland. Gabriela was very helpful in narrowing down a color with us and the shirts turned out great. The service is excellent with the turn around time very quick. I highly recommend this shop! read more

Our business was in the situation of not wanting to look like every other professional in our work space. We needed to distinguish ourselves from the nurses we worked with and be easily identifiable to the midwives and doctors at the hospitals. Gabriela's logo design and fantastic work-womanship allowed us to not only set ourselves apart from the crowd but also helped us get great referrals from the hospital staff as they remembered our business name and constantly commented on our shirts. Rise Above Screen Printing did a great job on our T-shirts and we felt so good about supporting a local businesswoman making quality goods for a very reasonable rate. We could not have been happier with the work and with Gabriela's professionalism. We loved the options of sweatshop free T-shirts and materials to use which made us much happier when we got down to work in our new gear. Thank you Rise Above for such great work and for helping our business grow. read more

My small local moving business has worked with Rise Above Printing for years. Gabriela has always gone the extra mile for us since day one. She listens to our needs and delivers quality uniforms on time with fair pricing. In addition to her products, she is a pleasure to work with. read more

Gaby did a great job of silk screening some art ideas of mine onto T-shirts. I'll go back for future silk screen needs.

We created T-shirts for our daughter's birthday, and Rise Above Graphics did a fantastic job! They were helpful with our homemade design, and with figuring out sizing for a toddler. I agree with Modamas I., "Gabriela runs Rise Above with uncompromising integrity." Our daughter proudly wears her Rise Above Graphics T-shirt regularly. It is a favorite! read more

Great, high quality work, fast turnaround and excellent communication! I used Rise Above for some band t-shirts and they were a huge hit -- I get a lot of compliments from folks who bought them and I see them being worn around quite a bit. I will definitely work with them again. read more
