smth Awesome is a collaboration between two friends on opposite sides of the world. I’m an American. My friend is a Ukrainian, who lives in a town situated on the Russian border. For a while, my friend has been making products to sell on Etsy and various online marketplaces. The opportunities for selling are somewhat limited since it’s quite expensive to ship products outside of the country.

smth Awesome is the American extension of the Ukrainian shop. We use print-on-demand to exponentially expand the number of people we can reach. Doing this also makes the product more affordable for people outside of Ukraine.

I only keep enough of the money to pay for the costs of running smth Awesome. I do the work myself to keep the cost low. 100% of the profit goes to my friend in Ukraine, who provides ideas for products and helps maintain the site.

This isn’t a political endeavor. We’re not making statements. We’re just business partners working first to survive, and (with your help) to then thrive!
