CETILIA FOUNDER: JORDYN SOTELO

Jordyn Sotelo is the founder of Cetilia, a name drawn from the Nahuatl cetilia — to make one thing into many, or to unite through friendship. Before starting Cetilia, Jordyn spent her career in hospitality, including becoming a Certified Sommelier, and woking with some of Chicago's most iconic restaurants— Charlie Trotter's, Grace, and MK —learning firsthand how a single detail — a pairing, a plate, a first impression — can shape an entire experience.

That's the philosophy she built Cetilia on: one shoot, told well, becomes everything a business needs to show up in the world — and every client relationship starts with the same thing hospitality taught her matters most, real trust. Today Cetilia works with food and hospitality brands, lifestyle and service businesses alike, helping each one find the story worth telling and carry it through every frame.
