MAKA UDDIN

I’m Maka, a leader in Creative Vision and Production. My expertise lies in coordinating and Creative Directing photoshoots for brands and bringing compelling visual narratives to life.

With over three years of experience in Creative Direction, I’ve led high-profile photoshoots for renowned publications such as Paper Magazine, Riviera Magazine, Modern Luxury, Haute Living, Ocean Drive Magazine, and Flaunt Magazine.

On top of that, I led the first campaign launch for N8iV Beauty Skincare, the first Native American female-owned skincare co. I scouted all 9 models from around the country, freelanced photographers, chose the wardrobe, and led the vision on-site by directing the models onset alongside the photographer.

I help ensure every detail aligns with the brand’s vision. My skill set also includes graphic design, and creating content that resonates deeply with audiences. As a previous Social Media Manager, I’ve transformed social media pages with impactful content strategies and creating visually cohesive, engaging brand stories.

Whether directing on set or crafting brand campaigns, my innovative approach and keen artistic eye, mixed with team collaboration consistently delivers impactful results.
