Our Story
TNT Creative was born from a friendship that turned into a shared vision. Tristan and Trevor first met while Trevor was on a foreign exchange in New Zealand. Between university projects, late-night road trips, and chasing auroras and storms with cameras in hand, they discovered a shared passion for storytelling through imagery.
Life took them in different directions for a few years, but in 2025 they reconnected when Tristan moved to Colorado. Working side-by-side for a Department of Defense contractor, they realized their combined skill sets could deliver something bigger. TNT Creative was created to serve businesses across the Colorado region with high-impact visual storytelling and strategic marketing.
