About | Romanelli Design

Why We Design the Way We Do

Romanelli Design was founded with one goal in mind: to serve people who are building something worth believing in. Our clients are mission-driven— schools, family farms, nonprofits, artisans—and they need design that works as hard and as honestly as they do.

We bring craftsmanship, clarity, and strategy to every project, helping you make the impact your mission deserves.

Let’s bring your mission to life

What Guides Us

Faith. Function. Form. We believe design should serve a higher purpose—not just decorate. Our work is guided by:

Craftsmanship: Everything we make is built with care and precision, from logos to landing pages.

‍Purpose: We don’t do trendy. We do timeless—and tailor everything to your unique mission.

‍Collaboration: We listen closely and walk alongside you to translate vision into action.

Who’s Behind the Work

Richard S. Tombelli, Founder & Creative Director

Ric Tombelli is what you get when precision meets purpose. Ric blends old-world devotion with modern marketing. He thinks in blueprints, writes in headlines, and builds things—whether it’s a shrine, a brand, or a school—that last. Curious, collaborative, and quietly relentless, Ric doesn’t just dream up ideas. He ships them.

‍Ric brings over two decades of experience across digital marketing, product and packaging design, and UX-driven web strategy. With a background in industrial design and a hands-on approach to every project, he blends craftsmanship with clarity—always aiming to serve the mission behind the work.

From classrooms and campaigns to startups and schools, Ric has helped clients grow with purpose, both online and off. He and his wife live in northern Kentucky, where faith, family, and meaningful work go hand in hand.
