Collette Michaud

Michaud, as head of LucasArts art department, visited an annual Producers' Show where she was impressed by the work of artist Bill Tiller, and hired him for the company.

For Star Wars: Rebel Assault she cooperated with project manager Vincent Lee, including the challenging task of hiring 3D artists, and assembling an art team for Lee. The character Ru Murleen's appearance was based on Michaud.

Michaud helped launch Lucas Learning where she served as Project Leader and Designer for Star Wars: DroidWorks and Star Wars Math: Jabba's Game Galaxy.

In addition to Star Wars projects Collette Michaud worked on two Indiana Jones video games, and was a designer and animator on LucasArts' Sam & Max Hit the Road video game. She is married to Steve Purcell, former LucasArts artist and animator, and the creator of the Sam & Max: Freelance Police comics.
