I saw an opportunity to blend the brand's ethos of personal growth with a need in the entrepreneurial world. Alongside Pascaline Smith and PJ Forooshani, we want to create a platform that would inspire and connect young visionaries with the resources they need to succeed. By combining upskilling opportunities, networking events, and funding support, Gymshark Rise aims to bridge the gap between having an idea and building a thriving community around it.

Brand Persona

I drew inspiration from a younger Tommy Shelby of Peaky Blinders. His journey from humble beginnings to success embodies our vision. Tommy's unwavering discipline and ability to lead resonate with our mission to empower young entrepreneurs as we've adopted his relentless drive and loyalty to his community. This Tommy Shelby-inspired persona embodies the spirit of Gymshark: Rise.
