About

Hello! I’m Michelle Gier, a versatile 2D game artist and illustrator with a passion for stylized environments, UI elements, and character art. I love building atmospheric isometric backgrounds for VR and Steam game projects, creating concept art for props and environments, and collaborating closely with art directors and multidisciplinary teams to push visuals from concept to production.

I’ve contributed to several projects by blending traditional illustration with digital production pipelines, developing environment art, color theory guidance, and asset packages for fast-paced production. I enjoy refining visuals in collaboration with developers and art teams, and I’m excited to expand into broader production pipelines and, when needed, assist with later-stage 3D production.
