01The beginning
I started with my own clothes.
I’m Oleksii, an apparel and graphic designer based in Ukraine. In 2020, I started TADOW to put my graphics on clothes. Designing the pieces soon became the part I wanted to spend most of my time on.

OS®01 / NOTES FROM MY WORK
A graphic. A garment. A starting point.
02The experience
Then I learned what it takes to make them.
I sourced fabrics, checked samples, worked with production and packed orders. I learned to ask questions early — about fit, print methods and the details that can become expensive to change later.
03Your project
Now I bring that experience to your brand.
Before I draw, I want to know who’s buying the piece, what it should cost and how you plan to produce it. We can work on one graphic, a single garment or a collection. That’s where we start.

Where I learned
the production side.
I started TADOW in 2020 because I wanted to put my graphics on clothes. Over time, I took on the rest: developing garments, choosing fabrics, checking samples, making labels and sending out orders.
There were collaborations with streamers and creators, and plenty of practical problems: delayed materials, power cuts and samples that needed another round. I bring that experience to client projects, especially when it’s time to turn a design into something a factory can make.

I work out the shape, fit, colours and construction with you. We start with your customer, your references and the kind of product you want to release.
