Collinwood | Economic Development

Robert Gatewood is a native Clevelander dedicated to creativity, freedom of expression, and innovation. A staunch supporter of equality for people of all gender identities, ethnicities and sexualities, he works to level every playing field he can for those disadvantaged in society. His passion for communication, creativity, and interactivity grew and sharpened into an expertise with graphic design and creative leadership with a Cleveland focus. He shares his graphic design skills as the Marketing Chair of the “Euclid Beach Blast!” an annual, homegrown community festival at Euclid Beach and is a co-founder of the Lakefront Literacy Project, a summer reading program held during the festival. Robert graduated from Cleveland State University with a Bachelors of Arts in Graphic Design. He believes that by bringing together things that were not together before, he can show people that they are more alike than different.
