We Employ Awesome, Autistic People

The Awesome Company is a screen printing and design studio dedicated to empowering and employing adults with autism. We help bring your custom t-shirt and custom apparel ideas to life, and employing awesomely autistic professionals makes our print quality sharper, our culture richer, and our impact more genuine.

Spot-on precision:

Every design is carefully checked by artisans whose neurodiverse strengths (like pattern recognition, focus, and consistency) mean fewer misprints and sharper detail.
On‑time, every time:

Our process is streamlined to meet deadlines reliably—with quality assurance built into every stage, from mock‑up to finished apparel.
Collaborative design:

Your customer service touchpoint also understands autistic strengths—they hand off directly to makers. The result? Designs that come to life with care and alignment to your vision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our standard turnaround is 10-15 business days from payment. If you're working on a tight timeline, rush orders are available, just ask! We’ll do everything we can to meet your deadline without cutting corners. Because every shirt we ship creates real work for our team, we take pride in doing it right and doing it on time.
Pricing depends on your garment choice, order size, number of ink colors, and print placement. The more you order, the better the price per item. We’ll always give you a clear quote upfront with options, guidance, and smart suggestions to help you get the most for your budget. You’ll get the same care we’d give our own team’s merch. Clear, fair, and no surprises.
Absolutely. We offer a curated list of customer favorites and access to thousands of styles, fits, and colors from trusted brands like Bella + Canvas, Tultex, American Apparel, Alternative Apparel, Next Level, and more. Whether you're outfitting a crew, team, or event, there’s a perfect fit here, and we’ll help you find it.
Vector files like .AI, .EPS, or high-resolution PDFs work best. If you’re not sure what you have, don’t sweat it; our design team can help prep and polish your artwork so it prints beautifully. We treat every design like it matters. Because to our team, the details do matter.
Yes! While screen printing works best in batches of 12+, we also offer no-minimum options using Direct to Film (DTF) printing. It’s a great choice for one-offs, small runs, or test ideas. Big or small, every order gives our team a chance to do what they do best: create, pack, and ship with care.
Because your order does more than look good, it does good. We’re a custom apparel company with a purpose: to create meaningful, sustainable employment for autistic adults.
