Freya Holmér is a Stockholm-based freelance game developer and content creator with 12 years of hands-on experience building games, tools, and technical art pipelines. She co-founded indie studio Neat Corp, shipping titles like Budget Cuts and Garden of the Sea, and now focuses on freelance development and educating others in Unity and C#. Her open-source work shows a strong backend/tooling bent—expanding Unity’s math functionality and helping prepare a shader editor for beta—highlighting a knack for low-level systems that improve artist and developer workflows. Past roles include freelance technical art at Quixel where she built near-real-time GPU baking tools, and multiple stints teaching and mentoring at FutureGames. She combines production-grade game design and level art roots with deep technical fluency, making her equally at home prototyping gameplay or optimizing render pipelines. Colleagues often note her ability to turn shader and math complexity into practical, usable tools for teams.
