Available to hire
Hi, I’m Rachael Mipro, a development artist focused on creating immersive 3D environments and assets. I enjoy blending modeling, texturing, lighting, and composition to support storytelling and bring ideas to life. I thrive in collaborative teams and enjoy turning concepts into polished visuals using a workflow that spans Maya, Blender, Substance Painter, and Unreal Engine.
I’m detail-oriented, curious, and always eager to learn new techniques. When I’m not at the workstation, you’ll find me drawing, painting, swimming, or cooking, always exploring ways to push my craft forward.
