Steven Paul Judd is Kiowa and Choctaw from Norman, Oklahoma. He is a filmmaker, director, screenwriter, writer of fiction and visualist. He’s a member of the Writers Guild of America and served as staff writer for Disney’s XD Comedy Series, “Zeke and Luther.” Judd’s filmography is large in scope and provides a unique perspective on and from within Native American culture today. His innovative approach provides a glimpse into a world that is familiar to the underrepresented first peoples of this nation and at simultaneously brings about an fresh perspective and understanding among the non-Native community through humor. Judd’s filmography has earned him many honors and awards and the Native American population have embraced his work with an outpour of support and encouragement to continue creating.

Known primarily as a filmmaker, he is also a prolific visualist whose mash-ups of Native experiences and disposable American pop culture are sly and often downright funny. His creations include paintings, prints, poster art, photography, and t-shirt designs. His t-shirt designs usually sell out within 24 hours on THENTVS website. His mural “War Paint” can be seen at historic Indian Alley in downtown Los Angeles.

Prados Beauty is so honored to have partnered with Steven on not one, but two amazing collections. Steven alongside Cece and Kassie Kussman (Cherokee), worked many hours insuring that the Originals and First Prados Beauty collection, was a success! In the summer of 2021, the revamped, reformulated and redesigned 2.0 collection launched. Later that year in October of 2021, The Matriarch collection was launched in collaboration with Steven as well. This collection has gone on to win numerous awards and praise by many in the beauty world and Native community.

Kassie has been collaborating with Prados Beauty since 2019 as a digital
artist and designer. Her perspective and industry knowledge on packaging,
branding and design has helped Prados in so many ways. Kassie, Steven, and Cece worked together collectively in 2019 for the 2020 launch of the Originals collection. Kassie came back in 2021 and worked with Prados Beauty on placements and packaging design for their retail launch in JCP in 2022. She is currently the head designer for Prados Beauty. Her latest works in collaboration with Prados Beauty will be seen in October of 2023 for their newest collection.

Kassie currently resides in Missouri with her daughter and partner. She is
also a talented Native (Cherokee) silversmith. You can find her work and
