Within two weeks, Lynch ordered equipment, and staff and students soon were printing mugs themselves on a basic sublimation printer. The event offered coffee mugs printed on the spot with a person’s picture and a Lakers logo. It drew interest and Ed Lynch, founder and CEO of Mychal’s Learning Place, had an idea one night in 2017, after going to the ribbon-cutting for the Lakers training facility in El Segundo. It is managed by Jose Carrillo, who was the lead staff member for Mychal’s adult-day school when he started a Saturday Photoshop class for the students. The shop is a project of Mychal’s Learning Place, employing developmentally-disabled people for direct-to-garment printing, embroidery, packaging and quality control.
