Mariah is an accomplished photographer, editor, and art director based in New York City and Los Angeles, with over a decade of experience in the beauty and fashion industries. She is currently Art Director, Social at Milk Makeup in NYC, where she leads the Social Creative Team, and is responsible for building and maintaining Milk Makeup’s social brand experience.
Prior to her current role, she served as the in-house photography lead at Makeup by Mario, where she also lead videography, editing, and helped lead social art direction. She played a pivotal role in the conceptualization and execution of high-profile social and 360-campaigns for product launches such as the SurrealSkin Concealer, SuperSatin Lipstick, Ethereal Palette, and SoftSculpt Bronzing & Shaping Serum, to name a few.
Before moving into the world of corporate beauty, Mariah spent 10-years developing a multifaceted expertise in beauty photography, videography, and art direction through freelance and contract work. Over the course of her 13-year career, she’s collaborated with some of the world’s most pivotal beauty brands, including Maybelline, L’Oréal, Chanel Beauty, MAC Cosmetics, NARS, and Byredo. Her work has been featured globally—from NYX stores in Malaysia, to a Revlon billboard in Times Square, to the side of a European theatre for Mario Dedivanovic’s MasterClass tour.
Her distinctive style seamlessly fuses contemporary aesthetics with bold nods to the 80s, 90s, and 00s, combining her early passion for makeup and magazine journalism with a sharp visual sensibility that has become a defining signature in the beauty industry.
