Tobias Harvey is the creative force behind Create Uplift, a Topeka-based agency providing comprehensive services in web design, branding, graphic design, photography, videography, and creative fulfillment. He co-founded the firm in 2016, evolving from an earlier passion project—an online magazine called CULT (Create, Uplift, Learn, Teach)—after experiences producing music in major studios across Los Angeles, New York, Memphis, and Miami sparked his love for visual storytelling.

With no formal agency experience or specialized education, Tobias built Create Uplift from the ground up—focusing on authentic client partnerships and relentless commitment to craftsmanship. Today, he leads a tight-knit team of five, ensuring every client gets direct collaboration and a deeply personalized approach. His work includes standout projects for Currus, featuring immersive video-driven web design, and a modern redesign for the Kansas National Education Association (KNEA).
