TREVOR GILCHRIST
FULL STACK CREATIVE
Thirty years of hands-on creative work (and creative oversight) across the full spectrum of brand, motion, print, and screen. I’ve worked as a designer, creative director, art director, motion designer, brand lead, and as the owner of my own design practice.
I trained in agencies where the standards were uncompromising and the discipline was strategic brand positioning executed in print—Landor, Ogilvy, Saatchi & Saatchi, and Fitch. I carried that rigor (especially typographic discipline) into motion and film work for Sony Pictures, Disney Imagineering, HBO, A52, Zoic, Warner Bros., Universal, and The Third Floor, spanning main title design, motion brand, VFX, editing, grading, sound, DIT and final delivery.
More recently, I've led creative at Gnomon, NUC University, and Langara, building (and rebuilding) complete brand systems end to end: identity, voice, print, web, social, trade show and filmed content, accountable for every concept and every deliverable. Most recently, operating my own studio, I founded and built the startup NowCook from the ground up, shaping the value proposition, identity, voice, UI/UX, and customer journey, alongside recent client work for Nvidia, LinkedIn, Quadron, ArcanaLabs, CGMA and more.
I can assemble and lead creative teams, or operate solo from my studio across the full suite of disciplines, including project-grade AI on a multi-model basis, from Codex to Higgsfield..
I’m fluent across the entire Adobe suite, 3D build and animation in Cinema 4D/Redshift, DaVinci Resolve (edit and grade through final delivery), FCPX, and Figma, and I’m comfortable across the full, agentic AI stack: Claude, Claude Code, Midjourney, Codex, Nano, SeeDance and Perplexity.
Below are some of the many testimonials about my work and work ethic.
