Welcome —
Thanks for being here.

If so, you’re in the right place — Fanelli Design + Strategy partners with businesses and individuals to create thoughtful, strategic, and visually compelling work — from brand identities and marketing materials to one-of-a-kind wedding invitations, holiday cards, and personal announcements.
Clients value my ability to listen, clarify their ideas, and bring just the right touch of creativity (and fun!) to their projects. Whether you’re launching a brand or planning a celebration, let’s create something that works — and wows.
About Me
I'm Cory Fanelli, founder and creative force behind Fanelli Design + Strategy, a small-but-mighty studio crafting smart, beautiful work for clients big and small. From brand identities to wedding invitations, I combine thoughtful strategy with a love of design to create pieces that inform, connect and inspire.
​
My path to design wasn’t linear — but it was always creative. After studying Art History at Tufts and UCLA, I followed my passion to the Art Center College of Design, where I discovered the power of visual communication and fell in love with design.
​
I began my career at Weymouth Design in Boston, creating annual reports for a wide range of industries. Over time, I gravitated toward the financial services sector — with in-house design and communications management roles at Thomson Financial (now Thomson Reuters) and Commonwealth Financial Network. Throughout I have maintained my design business, providing clients with creative solutions. These experiences sharpened my skills in branding, marketing, and strategic communication, and taught me the importance of listening closely to what clients' need.
​
In addition to corporate work, I love designing for individuals and families — creating meaningful, memorable pieces like wedding invitations, holiday cards, announcements, and event signage. Whatever the project, I aim to capture your style, your story, and your purpose through thoughtful design.
Outside the studio, I enjoy time with family and friends, knitting and crafts, traveling, museums, Pilates, and being on the water. I’m also a devoted advocate for ALS awareness and research — a cause that’s close to my heart.
If you have a project in mind, I’d love to hear from you.
