SAYING

  • “Tobin Levy has been my go-to writer for my last three documentary film projects. Not only is she an excellent writer and stylist, but she brings a level of enthusiasm, which one often needs in the thick of project development. She is also a really good sport, and will pitch in with any kind of help is needed when the going gets rough. When I needed a friend as much as a co-worker, Tobin wore a funny hat (at my request) and, armed with a clipboard and pen, signed people in to the NYC premiere of I’m Gonna Make You Love Me. She was worth a lot to that film project, and I am forever in her debt.”

    – Karen Bernstein, Documentary Producer and Director

  • “Tobin is an exceptional writer and editor, as well as a great listener and researcher. She will do whatever it takes to find the words, or the voice, that you have been looking for.”

    -Jack Sanders
    Artist / Creative Director / Founder, Design Build Adventure + The Long Time / Co-Founder, The Texas Playboys Baseball Club

  • “Tobin is whip-smart and has been an invaluable resource to us for years. She’s seriously knowledgeable about the subjects that are important to us (art, literature, current events, among others) and uniquely able to put into words the chaotic beautiful world that is Justine's. From poetically getting across ideas on art and music for an upcoming party to her professionalism and clarity on important subjects about health and safety, she helps us voice our intentions perfectly. "

    – Justine Gilcrease, co-owner Justine’s Brasserie

  • “Any artist at a loss for words to describe their inspiration, creative concept and process needs Tobin Levy to put it down on paper. She is exquisitely gifted with her intelligence and her ability to create beauty with words. Thanks to Tobin, my Artist’s Statement was beautifully explanatory with just enough wit and candor AND I even learned things about myself. Thank you, Tobin.”

    – Gail Chovan, Artist and Educator

  • “'Call Tobin' is my immediate thought when I need intellectual, creative and vivid collaborative problem-solving. She understands the landscape of thinking creative industries. Meaning, she is a sort of art history, style, and culture reference book with a wicked sense of humor and playful streak that makes working with her a dream. She is capable, talented, and probably the most warm-hearted person I know to boot. Whether bouncing ideas around or handing a project over to her for revision, I know I will be excited by the results.”

    – Denise Prince, Artist

  • "Tobin is basically a good witch. I am not the most linear thinker or writer, but Tobin is an exceptional listener with an uncanny ability to wade through my non-sequitur, free-association style of writing (and speaking), clean it up, make it shine AND sound like me. That’s what I call magic."

    – Elizabeth Pecore, Owner, Basket Case Design

  • “Tobin knew just how to help me translate my dream project into the compelling description I needed to garner supporters and partners. In addition to being a brilliant writer, her empathy and understanding of the creative process ensured that I felt heard and respected. It was a phenomenal experience.”

    – Piper Stege, SAFE Alliance

  • “Tobin’s amazing gift for writing has so brilliantly assisted me in bringing to fruition the requested text, bios, promotional emails necessary for my business, various publications and website such as Fotonostrum Magazine. Tobin has the knack for translating your voice into words in such a unique and beautiful way.”

    - Jean Karotkin, Photographer

  • “Tobin is a delight to work with, providing a high level of attention to detail with a sensitivity to crafting the perfect message for a targeted approach to communication strategies.

When Tobin starts a project, her steps of researching and delving into the heart of strategic messaging comes from a passionate place. She's thoughtful, hard-working, and creates a strong dialogue/voice to elevate brand image and project awareness. We’ve worked together on a number of occasions, so the end result always keeps me seeking her guidance and advice again and again. She's just that damn good!”

    – Libby Tilley, owner, Lottie Mae Lounge
