ABOUT / MAK ISMAILOV

A multidisciplinary visual maker working between design, motion and film.

Mak Ismailov
MAK ISMAILOV / ITALY / 2026

My background is in graphic design, editing and commercial production. Before AI became part of my process, I was already building campaigns, social systems and client video through Photoshop and After Effects.

Today I use AI as another production layer — alongside art direction, editing, compositing, colour and sound. The goal is not to show the tool. The goal is to make a finished piece with a clear visual idea.

EXPERIENCE

Studied design at Uprock Academy, where I built my base in visual systems, layout and designing websites in Figma.
