Hey there, I'm Shaun

Hi, I'm a seasoned web, graphic designer with over 15 years of experience creating immersive digital experiences from designing responsive websites to developing 3D assets for games. I'm skilled in tools like: WordPress, HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, 3DS Max, UnrealScript, DaVinci Studio, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Canva to name a few. When I'm not designing, I enjoy spending time with nature, whether outdoors hiking trails or indoors with my group of pets a turtle, leaf insects and a school of fish whose quirks never fail to inspire and relax me.

brand identity

Supportive, real, motivating, and no-nonsense. We speak with warmth, honesty, and a deep understanding of the mental load our clients carry. We cut through the noise with clear, empowering guidance and never guilt-trip - only uplift.

values
mission
target
  • Progress Over Perfection: Every step forward matters. We celebrate consistency, not all-or-nothing thinking.
  • Community & Connection: We’re a tribe of strong, relatable women who lift each other up.
  • Confidence Through Strength: Physical strength builds mental strength. This journey is about empowerment, not shrinking.
  • Real-Life Balance: Training that fits your life, not the other way around.

To empower busy women in mid-life to build strength, lose stubborn belly fat, and rediscover their confidence - without chasing perfection. We help women embrace their changing bodies, take back control of their fitness, and enjoy life with more energy, joy, and self-love.

Your body deserves care - not criticism.

Busy, mid-life women (approx. 40–60) who are juggling work, family, and life responsibilities. They're tired of quick fixes and want a supportive approach that works with their lifestyle - not against it.

Many feel stuck or disheartened by how their body has changed but are ready to feel strong, energetic, and proud again

logo

Clean white "NB" initials overlapping on a bold black background - embodies the strength, clarity, and confidence at the heart of your mission. The minimal design reflects a no-nonsense, focused approach to fitness, while the bold contrast speaks to the power and resilience of mid-life women reclaiming their bodies and self-worth.

Usage: App icons, browser icons, website logo, overlay on some promotional graphics, merchandise and photography.

The "with nel.b" logo adds a personal touch to some graphics. It is used on some main headers and large promotional material.

typography

Our brand typography blends sophistication with clarity - chic, modern fonts for headers convey confidence and style, while clean, easy-to-read body text ensures accessibility and approachability. This balance reflects our core message: strength doesn't have to shout to be powerful, and fitness can be elegant, empowering, and grounded in real life. The typography mirrors our tribe - strong, smart, and effortlessly self-assured.
