The first apparel company specializing in designs of animals doing human activities
About
Animals Doing What began as a family Christmas project in 2022, when I decided to create handmade gifts for my siblings, parents, and aunt.
Using graphic design and my knowledge of sewing, I stitched each family member’s favorite pet—or spirit animal—caught in the act of doing their favorite human activity.
From a wiener dog playing tennis to a golden retriever driving a jet ski, the results were quirky, hilarious, and a huge hit.
That spark grew into a full apparel brand dedicated to one idea: showing animals in delightfully human scenarios.
Today, ADW continues to grow, one quirky design at a time, always dedicated to bringing originality and joy to everyday apparel.
