About Me
Senior Tech Artist & Art Production Manager
Tech Artist
20+ years of experience
Hi! I'm Michelle Stelko Favero
I build the bridge between art and technology. With nearly two decades in the games and digital industry, I specialize in two areas: optimizing real-time pipelines as a Tech Artist, and leading cross-cultural remote teams as an Art Production Manager.
On the technical side, I work daily in Unity — validating tools built by engineers, supporting shader and material workflows, and producing in-engine animations across 30+ simultaneous game projects. I translate technical constraints into creative opportunities, acting as the primary liaison between developers and art teams.
On the management side, I have led 200+ artists and 30 Feedback Managers across 9 countries — designing QA systems and feedback protocols that deliver consistent quality at scale. Based in Málaga, Spain, open to hybrid roles in Spain or fully remote across the EU.
