Mandy Braatz is a creative director and brand strategy consultant with 13+ years of experience working with lifestyle and consumer brands. She began her career at West Elm, Plated, and Rifle Paper Co., leading design, art direction, and brand marketing initiatives before transitioning to freelance consulting.
She now partners with founders and teams to clarify positioning and bring creative vision to life across brand touchpoints through thoughtful, cohesive execution. Her work helps early and growth-stage companies define identity, sharpen messaging, and launch campaigns that resonate with customers.

Balancing strategic thinking with a refined aesthetic sensibility, she is drawn to founder-led and lifestyle-driven brands that care deeply about design, storytelling, and long-term brand building.
