Following the launch of Demi Robinson Golf’s NIL brand identity, the next step was to translate that brand into a fully functional digital platform. The objective was to design a professional, mobile-first website that not only showcases performance, but tells the complete story behind the athlete. From NIL Identity to Digital PresenceThis project builds on Demi’s newly established brand identity, ensuring consistency across all touchpoints while creating a platform designed for visibility and growth. Designed for Recruitment and OpportunityThe website was structured to support college recruitment and sponsorship opportunities, with clear navigation, accessible content, and a strong emphasis on storytelling alongside performance. A Mobile-First ApproachWith the majority of users viewing content on mobile devices, the site was designed to perform seamlessly across all screen sizes, ensuring Demi’s brand is always presented professionally. Bringing the Athlete Story to LifeBeyond statistics and results, the platform allows Demi’s personality, journey, and resilience to come through — creating a deeper connection with coaches, sponsors, and audiences. Built to Be Seen. Designed for Opportunity.This project demonstrates how a strong athlete brand can be brought to life online, creating a digital presence that supports long-term growth and visibility.

Two audiences. Two completely different design challenges.Designing for sport isn’t one-size-fits-all.From grassroots clubs looking to engage the next generation… to established venues focused on heritage, reputation and experience… each audience requires a completely different approach. This case study highlights two very different projects - and how the design approach changed to suit each one. Engaging the Next Generation - MTB GuisboroughEngaging the Next Generation - MTB Guisborough For MTB Guisborough, the goal was clear: We needed something bold, energetic and built for a younger audience that would engage 10–16 year olds and drive sign-ups to their junior programme. The design needed to:
The final outcome was a high-impact poster design supported by promotional video content, designed to capture attention quickly and communicate the offer clearly. A Shift in Audience - Saltburn Golf ClubWhile the MTB project focused on energy and youth engagement, the approach for Saltburn Golf Club required something entirely different. This wasn’t about grabbing attention - it was about reinforcing perception. Here, the audience is more considered, with expectations around quality, heritage and overall experience. The objective was to create a premium presentation folder that:
Designed to Be Held and RememberedUnlike fast-moving digital content, this piece was designed to be physically handled - something that reinforces the brand through touch, layout and material quality. The design focuses on:
Two Audiences. Two Approaches.These two projects demonstrate an important principle: Different audiences require different design solutions. What works for a youth-focused cycling club won’t work for a heritage golf venue - and vice versa. Understanding the audience, the objective and the context is what ultimately drives effective design. Final ThoughtsWhether it’s a grassroots initiative or an established sports venue, design plays a key role in shaping perception and driving engagement.
If you're involved in sport and feel your branding or marketing isn’t quite hitting the mark, I’m always happy to share a few ideas. This case study explores the development of a personal NIL brand identity for IMG Academy student-athlete Demi Robinson, created to support her journey within competitive golf. The brief centred around building a fierce, focused, and performance-led identity, capable of growing alongside Demi’s progression as an athlete while remaining authentic and adaptable across digital, apparel, and future partnerships. First-stage NIL identity design for IMG Academy golfer Demi Robinson, focusing on strength, focus, and competitive intent.
Breaking into the fitness apparel industry isn’t just about producing great clothing - it’s about creating a brand people want to belong to. When Serratus Gymwear approached me to help bring their vision to life, the goal was clear: develop a powerful, modern identity that could stand confidently among established gymwear brands. From logo creation to apparel mock-ups, digital launch assets and promotional visuals, this project became a perfect showcase of what happens when strategy, creativity and consistency all work together. Here’s a look behind the scenes at how the Serratus Gymwear brand was built... Understanding the Brand VisionSerratus Gymwear is an emerging UK fitness clothing brand with a focus on clean design, high performance and a premium feel. Their products are aimed at athletes who value simplicity, functionality and strength - both in the gym and in the brands they align with. From the beginning, we wanted the identity to embody those same qualities. The brief centred around developing a minimalist, future-ready brand that would work flawlessly across clothing, digital platforms, physical marketing materials and social media. Creating a Strong, Minimalist LogoThe logo needed to be bold, readable and versatile. Gymwear often lives or dies through its ability to translate well onto fabric, especially through embroidery and small-scale printing, so every decision was made with real-world usability in mind. The final wordmark uses clean geometry and subtle strength in its letterforms, paired with a supporting “GYMWEAR” lock-up that keeps the brand highly legible in all formats. Its simplicity allows it to sit confidently on both light and dark backgrounds, without losing its impact. Designing the Apparel and Product Mock-UpsTo bring the brand to life, I created a full suite of apparel visuals. These included:
These visuals give Serratus Gymwear a launch-ready toolkit, ideal for social media teasers, website previews and early stage marketing campaigns. Building Promotional & Marketing AssetsA brand is only as strong as its consistency, so the next stage involved creating key marketing visuals that demonstrated how Serratus would appear in real environments. This included:
These assets show how the brand carries its identity into the real world — bold, focused and instantly recognisable. Designing the Website Holding Page on ShopifyBefore launching the full online store, Serratus Gymwear required a clean and professional Coming Soon page within their Shopify site. Using Shopify’s theme customisation tools, I created a polished holding page that introduces the brand while preparing the platform for future product listings. The page features:
This approach ensures the brand presents itself professionally from day one, even before the full e-commerce setup is complete. Shopify provides a strong foundation for the brand’s future growth, making it the ideal platform for their launch. The Final OutcomeThe completed design package provides Serratus Gymwear with a strong, cohesive identity they can confidently build on. Every graphic, mock-up and layout aligns with the same clean, minimalist tone, ensuring the brand launches with clarity and professionalism.
It’s always rewarding to help shape the look and feel of a new brand, and Serratus Gymwear is a perfect example of how powerful creative direction and consistent execution can be. I’m excited to see how the brand grows from here. If you're launching a new brand or refreshing an existing one, I’d love to help you bring your vision to life.

Pure Elite is Europe’s leading fitness and physique federation, hosting world-class events that attract competitors and audiences from around the globe. I’ve had the opportunity to create bold, high-energy design work that captures the excitement of their brand and builds anticipation around their annual shows. Scope of Work Over the years, I’ve worked closely with Pure Elite to produce a wide variety of branded materials, supporting their promotional campaigns and member engagement. Projects have included:

By delivering bold, consistent and versatile creative across multiple touchpoints, I’ve helped Pure Elite elevate its presence both online and offline. From large-format venue displays to digital-first Instagram campaigns, every piece has been designed to reflect the prestige of the federation and build excitement among athletes and spectators alike. MTB Guisborough is a vibrant and passionate mountain biking community based in the North East, and a British Cycling affiliated Community Amateur Sports Club. Known for its challenging trails and inclusive approach to riders of all levels, they approached me with a need for a strong, versatile brand identity that reflected the energy of their sport and their local roots. The goal was to create a design that was instantly recognisable, practical across print and digital formats, and adaptable for use on everything from merchandise to social media. Scope of Works The project began with the development of a new logo. The design combines bold typography with a simple but powerful icon that reflects both the local terrain and the MTB lifestyle. The colour palette - red, white, and black was chosen to convey energy, grit, and strength. To put the identity into action, I applied the logo to a range of assets, including:
Each piece was designed with MTB Guisborough’s grassroots spirit in mind — bold, energetic, and built for a tight-knit community of riders. Summary
The new brand identity for MTB Guisborough has given the club a distinctive, professional look while staying true to its adventurous and down-to-earth ethos. With a toolkit of assets ready for use across merchandise, events, digital platforms, and a dedicated website, the brand helps unite riders under one clear visual identity. It’s a design that not only represents the trails they ride, but also the community they’ve built. At Get Noticed Branding, I specialise in turning complex information into design that inspires, informs, and delivers results. One recent example is my work with IMG Academy, designing their 2025/2026 Golf Program Overview deck. The global sales team at IMG Academy needed a presentation that:
I created a clean, structured, and visually engaging design that makes complex data simple and communicates IMG’s unique value to prospective student-athletes and their families.

When it comes to marketing, sometimes the simplest approach can have the biggest impact. For Wilson Plumbing & Heating, that meant putting a beautifully designed, informative leaflet directly into the hands of local homeowners.
Wilson Plumbing & Heating approached us to create a marketing piece that reflected their professional service, friendly approach, and wide range of heating and cooling solutions. We designed a clean, easy-to-read A4 tri-fold leaflet highlighting:
Once approved, we arranged the printing of 20,000 high-quality leaflets. These were delivered via Royal Mail to carefully selected postcodes, ensuring they reached homeowners most likely to benefit from Wilson’s services. The result was a professional, targeted marketing campaign that combined strong design with strategic distribution. Proof that great design isn’t just about looking good — it’s about delivering results. From Merlot to Mango - we design with flavour. 🍷🥭
That was our guiding mantra for this project with Nunthorpe Hall, a luxury care home where every detail matters. We were asked to design a suite of drinks menus - wine, smoothies, and mocktails - that not only functioned well but truly enhanced the experience for residents and visitors alike.
Each menu was carefully designed to align with the hall’s premium hospitality and brand ethos. Looking to bring flavour to your own printed materials? Let’s create something worth savouring. When 7-time WBFF Pro and renowned stagewear designer Veronique Rees set out to launch a luxury poolsidewear brand, she needed more than just a logo - she needed a brand identity that matched her legacy.
Enter Get Noticed Branding. As a long-standing client, Veronique trusted me to help shape and bring to life her new vision: de Brabant - a premium label that would extend her competition-wear expertise into the world of high-fashion swimwear. The Brief The goal was to create a high-end sub-brand to sit alongside Veronique’s established label, La Diva Design. While La Diva caters to elite stage competitors, de Brabant would represent glamourous, luxury poolsidewear—bespoke creations made to celebrate confidence, elegance, and achievement. The challenge? To craft a brand that felt every bit as premium, personal, and aspirational as the designs themselves. My Role This project was a true full-spectrum branding commission. I was involved in every stage of development, including:
The Launch The brand made its debut at London Fashion Week, worn on the runway by models who personified strength, ambition, and beauty. The response? Outstanding. de Brabant made a confident entrance into the fashion world - and I was proud to help make that possible. Why It Matters This wasn’t just about good design. It was about strategic branding that told a story—from a celebrated designer’s roots in competition wear to a powerful new expression of luxury. And this is what I do at Get Noticed Branding. I help businesses - whether start-ups or established names - develop bold, distinctive identities that connect, elevate, and perform across every platform. Ready to Create Something Extraordinary?
