Paul DaCosta

Director of Client Services - Mindbomb creative

'I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar... when I met Trev'... oh no that was another Trev back in the 80's. 
I had the pleasure of managing Mr Ames whilst doing some consultancy with the Management Team at Blackstar. There are many people labelled 'creative' in the design and marketing world, most don't live up to the title. Trev on the other hand constantly strives to deliver fresh ideas. Great to work with from an account director's perspective, as he somehow manages to pull something out the bag no matter what the deadline. Great guy, quiet and unassuming, but inside is a real creative mind.

Group Brand Director - Virgin Active

Trevor was always detail oriented, focussed and intent on understanding a brief fully before delivering his well crafted work. He worked well under pressure and ensured that he always met his deadlines. He was just as comfortable working with a team as he was on his own, and always offered well considered rationale for his work. Pretty much a pleasure to work with.

Stephanie Sajeski-Franquie

Director of Marketing -  Korg USA

I have had the pleasure of working with Trevor and the Blackstar marketing team for almost four years now. Trev is extremely creative, bright, diligent and great at multi-tasking! He pro-actively offers solutions and ideas making him a valuable contributor to any situation or team.

Working with Trevor on photo shoots always results in fantastic and fun imagery. This is the result of Trev's great concept development and importantly his skills of planning and logistics. It's always a pleasure!

Marty Herbert

Director of Applied AI - KPMG

When we created the new iconography for our "six pillar research" framework, Trevor came up with a stunning and impactful new look that captured the intent behind the icons in a highly imaginative and thoughtful way. I think his great skill is not only in developing the concepts but in pairing things back to their core elements and keeping things simple. It was great working with him - hard working, visually brilliant, flexible, and good humoured too.
