Trevor Kinkade Design
I help people who are passionate about things bring their ideas to life through well-crafted design that lasts.
This is a one-man creative studio based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. If it’s design, you can bet it’s up my alley. Some projects we might tackle: logo design, brand design, web design, packaging, label design, business cards, stickers, patches, flyers, apparel, and really anything that needs a creative touch.

A process that works
Connection
It’s always better to work with friends! We first establish a foundation in a creative brief conducted face to face or over the phone. We discuss what drives you, what inspires your venture, and how we can meet your goals and aspirations.
Discovery
Great design is well informed. We take careful note of your market and competition in order to differentiate your brand for its target audience. A brainstorming session with good ole’ paper and pencil kicks off the creative flow and yields a healthy volume of sketches and ideas.
Development
Our strongest ideas are selected and brought to digital life with key design principles and best practices. These designs are toiled over and adapted into polished concepts ready for presentation.
Proposal
Multiple options are key to success. Our concepts are presented to you in a professional proposal with mock-ups to aid visualization. We analyze the symbolism and strengths of each piece – the most fitting design is chosen.
Refinement
Details are key. With your feedback in mind, we refine the design until it’s perfected. Adjustments are made to white space, kerning, vector points, and other key factors. The end result is a polished product that will last.
Deliverables
Your final design might include multiple variations in various colors. All industry standard files are packaged together in a comprehensive file kit: svg (vector), png (transparency), eps (editing), Pantone colors, and other file types as needed.

“We are wrapping up one project with Trevor and are eager to get started on the next. Trevor took time to learn our business, our clients, and how we want to present ourselves to future clients. I feel like we are working with a partner and not just a vendor.”

“Trevor took what was a very abstract and obtuse idea I had and made it a reality. He totally knocked it out of the park and I couldn’t be happier with the final product. I’m a repeat customer and will continue to be!”
