Tobi Ewing
Artist, Designer, Strategist, Curator & Arts Administrator based in Ohio.
With a B.A. in Gender Studies and double minor in Business Management and Arts Administration from Skidmore College, Tobi has always created at the intersection of art, culture, and impact.
An art-science hybrid with an untraditional professional background, Tobi’s career began in Product Development, Production and Operations for Global Luxury Fashion Brand, Ralph Lauren. In 2019, a certified wellness practitioner and creative strategist, she launched her consultancy, Beyond The Clouds, helping founders and creatives find balance between production and presence. The following year she launched her fine art practice.
Between sold out art collections and press recognition from institutions like The Washington Post for her “creative care” programming to managing the branding and strategy for small businesses, Tobi began to carve out her signature lane in art, design, and operations, with both agency and freelance experience.
My goal as your design and strategy consultant is to elevate organizations with beauty and intention. My diverse background in art, business, and community organizing primes me to approach projects holistically with creativity, soul, and grit.
