About Me.
Hi! I’m Jaikar Pothula, a game developer and visual designer with a strong focus on UI/UX design for games and interactive experiences. I’m currently based in San Francisco, pursuing my Master’s in Game Development at the Academy of Art University, where I specialize in creating intuitive, responsive, and visually engaging user interfaces for mobile and desktop games.
My journey began with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Animation from KL University, where I built a strong foundation in 3D modeling, texturing, lighting, and visual storytelling using tools like Autodesk Maya, Blender, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. I also took Coursera-certified courses on typography, photography, and digital design, which helped shape my eye for detail and layout — key skills I now bring into UI/UX.
In my Master’s, I’ve expanded into:
-
UI/UX Design for Games using Figma, Photoshop, and Unreal Engine’s UMG system
-
Gameplay interface design that blends usability with visual appeal
-
Creating wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes
-
Designing HUDs, menus, pause screens, inventory systems, and dynamic UI animations
-
Implementing UI systems in both Unity (with C#) and Unreal Engine (Blueprints)
What sets me apart is my ability to combine a designer’s eye with a developer’s logic. I don’t just design what looks good — I make sure it works seamlessly in gameplay, supports player flow, and adapts across devices and screen sizes.
I’m passionate about designing interfaces that enhance player experience, support accessibility, and bring a game’s visual language to life. Whether it’s a sci-fi strategy game or a cozy mobile puzzle, I love turning complex systems into beautiful, usable design.
Let’s connect and create experiences that players won’t forget! 🎮🧩✨
