Selected work ↓(About / 01)
Hi, I'm Oleksii. I spent years building my own clothing brand — designing, learning production and figuring things out by doing.
That experience taught me what it actually takes to turn an idea into a real product. Now I use what I learned to help other brands make better clothes and move through the process with fewer mistakes.
I can help with apparel design, garment graphics, tech packs, labels, packaging and mockups — either with one part of a project or from the first sketch to the first sample.

TADOW STORE
Independent clothing brand
built from zero
TADOW STORE began in 2020 as a hobby built around graphics. It grew into an independent clothing brand for a specific subculture — with its own visual language, products and community.
I handled almost every part of the product: garment and print design, samples, fabrics, basic pattern adjustments, labels, hangtags, packaging and fulfilment.

- Sample development
- Fabric sourcing
- Basic pattern adjustments
- Labels & packaging
- Production coordination
Print methods

What it taught me
Collaborations with streamers and online creators helped the brand reach more people. Power cuts, disrupted imports and production delays taught me how to keep a product moving when plans break.
TADOW STORE also made one thing clear: my strongest work is the product itself, not running every business system around it. That hands-on experience is what I now bring to other brands.

(What I do / 04)
HOW I CAN
HELP.
Bring me in for one specific task or for the whole route from an early idea to a production-ready product.
01Apparel design
From the first idea to a clear garment direction
I develop the product with production in mind from the start. We work through the shape, fit, construction, colours and materials until the garment feels right for the brand.
- Concepts & references
- Silhouettes & proportions
- Colourways
- Fabric direction
- Construction details
02Print / graphics
Artwork made for the garment and the printing method
I create graphics around how they will actually be produced. That includes screen print, DTG or DTF, sublimation, embroidery, appliqué and patches — with the right placement, scale and level of detail for each method.
- Graphic concepts
- Print placement & scale
- Colour options
- Repeats & all-over patterns
- Production-ready artwork
03Tech packs
Clear product documents a factory can work from
I prepare the information needed to make the first sample without guesswork. Everything is organised clearly, so the design, measurements, materials and artwork are easy to understand.
- Front & back flats
- Measurements
- BOM & materials
- Construction callouts
- Artwork placement
- Sample comments
04Trims & labels
The small details that make the product feel complete
I design the branded parts that sit on, inside and around the product, then prepare clear sizes, colour options and files for production.
- Woven & printed labels
- Care & size labels
- Hangtags
- Buttons & hardware
- Bags, boxes & packaging
05Mockups
Product visuals for decisions, presentations and sales
I turn the design into clean product views that make it easier to approve ideas, compare options and present the product before a physical sample is ready.
- Front & back views
- Colourways
- Graphic placement
- Collection presentations
- E-commerce visuals
