A passion project that became a real brand.

ETRNL YOUTH started in 2023 as a creative side project built on nights and weekends. What began as a shared hobby grew into a niche apparel brand for the theme-park community, built on original products, organic social content, email marketing, micro-influencer partnerships, e-commerce and in-person events.

I ran it alongside my full-time career. It was never a full-time business.

Results
