About me

I’m Maya Kooi, a game artist based in Zeist, the Netherlands. I’m currently studying game art at the HKU, where I placed my main focus on making 3D environment art and foliage.

Growing up, I’ve always been drawing, painting and gaming.  I’ve combined those passions together with my love for lush nature to create stunning digital environments.

Besides environment art, I enjoy various game art gigs as well. At the HKU I learned a diverse skill set and have interesting projects to show for it. Like my horror 2D pixel art visual novel! Very different from wholesome greenery, but a blast to work on.

I like to spend a lot of time in nature and am always observing the colors, shapes and flow of it. When I’m indoors in my spare time, I’ll sometimes try my hand at drawing, painting or making necklaces and crocheting. 

I also love cats, drinking tea and Art Nouveau.
