Edward Sotelo

I'm a Senior Graphic Designer at USC, crafting visuals by day and building dynamic websites in my free time. Since 2012, I've honed my skills in Graphic Design, UI/UX, and Front-End Web Development. My journey began at Montrose Travel as a Graphic Designer, progressed to Lead Designer at Corporate Travel Management, and now as a Senior Graphic designer at my current role.

Beyond USC, I take on freelance work, collaborating with clients like APWireless and Mariachi Arco-iris on branding projects for print and web. I blend design, development, and SEO expertise to deliver measurable results.

In my freelance projects, I design and develop websites, managing everything from UI to SEO. My go-to tools include Get Kirby CMS for content management, Sketch for web design, and the Affinity Suite for graphic work. For coding, I rely on NOVA Code Editor, and I optimize performance with ahrefs.

When I'm not designing, you'll find me unwinding with video games, watching anime and classic films like Sunrise, or being a shutterbug! I also assist with video content creation and editing for Backstory LA.
