Mattea Romanelli

About

I’m a first generation Italian-American who grew up around blueprints and job sites, watching my family build things from the ground up taught me the value of precision, collaboration, and grit. Now, I bring that same mentality into creative strategy, branding, and design. With a background in advertising and hands-on experience crafting social media strategies, campaign concepts, and branded content, I approach every brief with intention and every deliverable with heart. I treat classroom projects like real-world challenges, and I don’t just complete the task, I elevate it. Whether I’m designing a brand identity or building out a full campaign deck, my sweet spot is where strategy meets style. I thrive in team settings where there’s trust, clarity, and room to grow. I’m especially drawn to roles that let me stretch across disciplines, brand strategy, art direction, content creation, and bring a brand’s vision to life from concept to execution. If you’re looking for someone who’s equal parts thinker and doer, I’m your person.
