Heather Campbell, also known online by the alias "Makani", is an artist most well-known for creating many of the Team Fortress 2 comics for Valve Corporation. Originally drawing fanart for various games, books, and movies that she enjoyed, Campbell was approached by Valve in response to an unofficial design she created for The Administrator, a character from Team Fortress 2. Valve liked both the design and Campbell's other work, and hired her around July 2010, alongside making her design official in the TF2 comics.
During her time at Valve, Campbell has been responsible for a number of works, including a majority of the official Team Fortress 2 comics starting from the "Loose Canon" issue, concept art for Portal 2, and promotional art for Steam, such as the visual assets for the 2011 Steam Summer Camp Sale. More recently, she has focused on asset creation for Dota 2.
