About.
DESIGN BEYOND BOUNDARIES.
Welcome to my portfolio.
I am a multidisciplinary designer with a unique background that bridges military discipline and creative innovation. My design journey began in the U.S. Army, where I served as a Multimedia Illustrator. That experience instilled in me a meticulous attention to detail, a structured creative process, and the ability to thrive under pressure.
After my service, I earned a BFA in Web Design & New Media and later a Master’s in Industrial Design, expanding my expertise across both digital and physical design. Along the way, I founded a design studio and worked across a broad spectrum—UX/UI, branding, motion graphics, product design, and interactive media. This breadth of experience has given me a holistic view of the product lifecycle and a passion for solving complex challenges through thoughtful, human-centered design.
Today, I work in Southern California as a government contractor, creating advanced visual solutions for the U.S. Navy and Department of Defense. From strategic communications to motion graphics, I transform complex, technical information into clear and impactful visuals for mission-critical environments.
Beyond my professional work, I’m passionate about apiculture, mycology, and 3D printing, often exploring how nature, science, and technology can inspire new forms of design. You’ll also often find me fishing from my 14-ft kayak in the Pacific Ocean, an activity that helps me recharge and sparks the kind of fresh perspectives I bring back into my creative process.
Thank you for visiting. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my mix of discipline, creativity, and design expertise to your next project.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Eduardo while he developed marketing and media strategies for Scott Lamp Company. I can sum up his accomplishments in one sentence: He is their media savior.
Before Eduardo, Scott Lamp website & marketing materials did not match their fine product quality. When Eduardo joined Scott Lamp, the first thing he did was to get a consensus from the sales representatives as to what tools we needed to increase visibility and expand our client base. Each successive change in the website and media materials that Eduardo produced with his team became more polished and professional with every revision and tweak.
His generous advice & insight as we attempt to spiff-up our own agency website has also been much appreciated. Eduardo’s graphic design talent and strong management skills of his team merged together to finally produce a successful, professional image for Scott Lamp that is still ongoing.”

“I have gotten to know Eduardo well over the last couple years, both personally and professionally. He is an insanely talented designer, his internal drive and motivation are inspirational, and his positive attitude is contagious.
He is constantly pushing the bounds of his skill sets and understanding of design, both inside and outside of work. Design, you can tell, is a passion for him, and it shows in his work. Eduardo will make an excellent contribution to any team looking for a talented, driven, quality-oriented designer with a hunger for innovation.”

“This letter is to serve as a recommendation for Eduardo Astudillo as an outstanding Graphic Designer. He was a UX/UI graphic designer, we worked on numerous projects that utilized his work in a variety of ways.
Eduardo is a pleasant professional who wants to understand the details of the project in order to deliver the right product. I found my experiences with Eduardo to be enjoyable rather than work. He is a brilliant graphic designer and his creativity goes well beyond any bounds I have ever seen.
Eduardo is time-aware when it comes to a scheduled business meeting and he was often able to drop everything and begin work in a moment’s notice. He would deliver all work ahead of schedule and his honesty made it a pleasure to work with him on various projects. He was one of the very few graphic designers that I actually enjoyed working with on a regular basis.
Eduardo’s inventiveness and desire to be creative allows him to provide excellent products that will make him the ideal graphic designer for your organization. I would be more than happy to provide more details if you need them.”
