✨ About Thobi

This is your sign to build it loud.

Because you didn’t come this far to play it small.

✦ The story

How it started vs. how it’s going.

Okay, let me tell you how we got here.

I started out as a designer. Logos, graphics, flyers, anything I could get my hands on. I was teaching by day and designing by night, and honestly? I loved every second of it.

Then I started creating content. What began as a cute little way to spread positivity turned into a community, millions of views, and a front-row seat to how the internet actually works. I learned what makes people stop scrolling, what makes them trust you, and what makes them hit follow (or unfollow, let’s be real).

Brands started reaching out, and I got to work with names like Toyota and Kendra Scott.

And somewhere in all of that, I realized I was just as interested in why things worked as I was in making them look good. So I went back to school (#GoGators), started studying digital strategy, and even got certified in asking better questions. Literally.

Now it all comes together at CallMeThobs Studio.

Design taught me how to make people look.

Content taught me how to make them care.

Teaching taught me how to make things make sense.

Strategy is how I tie it all together for you.

Because I believe everyone deserves a seat at the table. Sometimes you just need help pulling up the chair.

✦ How I work

What I believe.

01

Clear before clever.

If people have to work to understand you, they’ll scroll.

02

You don’t need to be everywhere.

You need the places you are to actually work.

03

Your brand should sound like you.

Not like a template. Not like everybody else.
