Hello. My name is Maja Downes!

I am a Game Designer specializing in Pixel Art, Iconography, and Asset Creation.
My pixel assets help game developers turn their imagination and designs into playable games.
My pixel design approach is faster than traditional development and less costly than modern game design. New game designers are attracted to this approach as it allows them great flexibility.
 
Whether it is an original work of art or a cost-effective design process for game design, I would love to showcase how I can work with you to bring your project to life.
