Available to hire
I’m Sophie Tan Yun Hee, a Melbourne-based Creative Director, Narrative Designer and Illustrator with a passion for bridging story and art in games. I co-created Made With Cookies and lead narrative design, art direction and world-building across projects. I also work on UI design and 2D/3D visuals, collaborating closely with teams to bring ideas to life.
I love shaping stories, dialogue, and the game’s world bible while contributing to 2D/3D art and UI elements. I’m known for being friendly, adaptable, and hardworking, and I enjoy collaborating with diverse teams to turn ideas into polished experiences.
