Incorporating brand strategy is the foundation that ensures your brand will be different from the competition. After that, its really working with a skilled designer to communicate the brand visually.
I suggest focusing on understanding your target audience, conducting thorough competitor analysis, and embracing innovative design elements while maintaining simplicity and usability to create a design that distinguishes your brand from the competition.
1. First create a brand of your own (authenticity, authority, approachability)
2. Have a clear vision and mission on what you want to achieve.
3. Find your target audience, if you do this you will get the pain points to focus on.
4. Make your audience the hero of your content, and you be the guide
These 4 steps will take time, but it will set a foundation on which you can succeed.

Creating a design that stands out from the competition can be challenging, but there are several strategies you can use.
Firstly, consider what sets your brand apart from others in your industry, and how you can communicate this through your design. You could focus on a unique color scheme or typography, or incorporate elements of your brand's personality or values.
Secondly, consider the use of visuals and imagery to grab the attention of your target audience. This could involve using bold graphics, striking photography or illustrations, or even animation or video.
Thirdly, make sure that your design is easy-to-understand and communicates your message clearly. Avoid clutter and unnecessary details, and focus on creating a visual hierarchy that guides the viewer's eye to the most important information.
Finally, test your design with your target audience to ensure that it's memorable and effective. Incorporating elements of your brand identity into the design is also crucial to ensure brand recognition, but it's important to balance this with creating a design that stands out and captures attention.
