I’m Saket Akhani, a 24-year-old creative director, digital marketer, and visual storyteller. I’ve worked across the United States, Mexico, and India in roles that include marketing strategy, branding, front-end development, UX design, and creative consulting. My projects span multiple industries, from helping tech startups define their voice to guiding craft breweries through market expansion and collaborating with fashion and culture-driven brands to tell stories that are bold and visually distinct. This range of work has shaped how I think creatively by combining structure with soul and strategy with emotion.

I hold a Master’s in Global Management from the Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University in Phoenix, Arizona. While the program sharpened my global business skills, my most transformative work came from building something of my own. I founded the Fashion Club at Thunderbird, a passion project that became a hub for expression, collaboration, and storytelling. I directed and styled editorial photoshoots, produced immersive fashion shows, and launched a printed magazine that explored identity and culture through fashion. It was a space where I stepped into full creative direction and turned raw ideas into experiences people could see, feel, and connect with.

My creative background is wide and always evolving. I shoot photography, both digital and 35mm film. I create visual narratives through cinematography and design, and I build brand identities through thoughtful and emotionally driven content. Whether I’m editing a reel, crafting a campaign, or shaping the voice of a brand, I approach it with care, curiosity, and the intention to make something real.

Outside of my visual work, music is a core part of how I express myself. I DJ and spend countless hours mixing electronic, house, and techno music. I find inspiration in rhythm, energy, and sound design. For me, it’s more than just a creative outlet. It’s a way of tuning into atmosphere and emotion, which naturally carries over into my visual work.

Travel has also shaped who I am. I’ve visited over 26 countries, and that constant exploration gives me a global perspective that shows up in everything I create. Being exposed to so many cultures and ideas keeps me open, adaptive, and curious. I carry that same spirit into every project, using it to make work that is thoughtful, fresh, and deeply connected to the world around it.

At the heart of it all is storytelling. Whether I’m using visuals, sound, or strategy, I create to make people feel something. That’s what drives me and that’s what I bring to every project I take on.
