Milan Michiels – Portfolio & Resume
Spoken languages:
My name is Milan Michiels, born on January 8, 1999. Creativity has always been a driving force in my life, and I am fortunate to have turned this passion into my profession. I began my career working in the marketing and design department of a company, where I honed my skills and gained valuable experience. Over time, I transitioned to running my own small business, which I continue to manage successfully.
Recently, I explored the world of game design and development by collaborating on a project in Unreal Engine. Although the game remains incomplete, the experience was highly rewarding and provided me with a solid foundation in the basics of game creation. This journey ignited a strong interest in the gaming industry and inspired me to pursue it further.
Currently, I am advancing my knowledge through multiple traineeships in game design and development, as traditional education in this field often lacks relevance. By leveraging my expertise in graphic design, UI/UX design, and their practical implementation, I aim to build a meaningful career in the game design and development industry.
I am excited to continue expanding my skills and bringing creativity to life in new and impactful ways.
My portfolio highlights a diverse and dynamic collection of creative projects, showcasing my expertise in UI-UX design, logo creation, game design, and print designs. Each piece reflects a commitment to innovation and aesthetics, aimed at delivering visually engaging and user-focused solutions tailored to various audiences and industries.
I create user-friendly UI-UX designs that focus on delivering a good-looking digital experience. My work includes prototypes, and responsive layouts that blend functionality with clean, modern aesthetics.
I enjoy working on game design, especially creating levels and designing menus that are easy to navigate and look great. My goal is to make sure the experience feels seamless and keeps players hooked from start to finish.
I designed and built a 3D menu for a game in Unreal Engine, making it both visually impressive and easy to use. The menu wasn’t just functional—it added to the overall vibe of the game with smooth navigation and an immersive design that fit perfectly with the game’s style. It was a fun challenge to bring something dynamic and interactive to life, and seeing it all come together in the game was super rewarding.
I design logos that really capture what a brand is all about. Whether it’s bold and modern or something more classic, I focus on creating simple, memorable designs that stand out and connect with people.
I love working on print designs that really catch the eye and communicate a clear message. Whether it’s brochures, posters, business cards, or packaging, I focus on creating layouts that are both visually appealing and easy to understand. My goal is to design pieces that not only look great but also make a lasting impact.
I enjoy working on video editing projects where I can bring stories to life through creative cuts, smooth transitions, and attention to detail. Whether it’s crafting promotional videos or storytelling pieces, I focus on making edits that flow naturally and keep viewers engaged. It’s all about finding the right rhythm and visuals to match the message.
I create clean, user-friendly UI-UX designs that focus on seamless interaction and a great overall experience.

As a designer, I love the process of solving problems and creating meaningful experiences. My work in UI-UX design revolves around making digital interfaces that are intuitive and visually appealing. I also dive into graphic and print design, where I create logos, posters, and packaging that tell a brand’s story in a way that’s both impactful and memorable.
Game design has been another exciting avenue for me, especially when I built a 3D menu in Unreal Engine. It was a great challenge to combine functionality with style and create something that really enhanced the game’s feel. Video editing is another way I bring ideas to life—playing with transitions, pacing, and visuals to make content that captures attention. For me, it’s all about using creativity to connect with people, no matter the medium.

I’m always looking for new challenges where I can bring creativity and functionality together to create something impactful.
