Christian Pinchbeck
Creative Lead
I create brand systems, websites, motion, UI and campaign assets for companies that need senior creative direction and hands-on design output without building a full team.
With 15+ years across entertainment, startups and AI, my work spans blockbuster film campaigns, founder-led brands and fast-moving technology companies.
Open to full-time and senior contract roles
About me.
Brand + digital designer with 15+ years across film, startups, and independent brands. Most recently I led creative at Troveo AI, as the company scaled from startup to $50M+ in a year. I use a blend of craft and AI tools to deliver what usually takes a team.

I use AI tools to expand throughput and accelerate ideation, not to replace craft, but to move faster through the stages that would otherwise eat hours. The work still starts and ends with a designer's eye.

Testimonials.
Marty Pesis
Troveo
"Christian came in as our first creative hire and immediately raised the bar for everything we put out. He rebuilt our brand from the ground up while we were scaling at speed, and somehow made it look effortless. The work he produced as one person is what most companies need a full team for."
Elliot Cardona
