5THFDM (pronounced “Fifth Freedom”) was a clothing brand I founded, inspired by my time in the military. In six months, I built a loyal following of roughly 7,000 Instagram followers and fulfilled over 800 orders of original merchandise, shipping both domestically and internationally. I managed every aspect of the brand from design and marketing to packaging and shipping. There are many more photos, products, and ideas that I could not fit in this project but these were some of my favorite and what I feel best encapsulated 5THFDM. I am extremely grateful for the experience, the lessons it taught me, and the connections I made along the way.
