Who am I?
Hi, I’m Rohan Pothala, but you can call me Rohan! I’m a passionate Product Designer based in Vancouver, BC, specializing in UX/UI Design. My goal is to create intuitive, user-friendly digital products that solve real-world problems and enhance everyday experiences.
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Game Art and Design, but my journey shifted as I discovered my excitement for designing digital products rather than creating games. My freelance work as a graphic designer like crafting logos, T-shirt designs, and other creative projects ignited my interest in exploring design careers with a greater impact.
To deepen my expertise, I pursued a Post-Secondary Diploma in Digital Design specializing in UX/UI Design at Vancouver Film School. This intense program taught me to approach every project through the lens of design thinking. I now see the world through the principles of design, constantly identifying problems and crafting innovative solutions.
I Love
I have been playing video games since childhood. I played many amazing games that made my childhood memorable, and I still enjoy gaming in my free time.
I love creating 2D art whenever I feel inspired, especially fan art. It’s a skill I developed during my BFA in Game Art and Design, and I still enjoy practicing it.
My love for designing digital products.

LIFE LINE: SOS Medical Emergency App (UX/UI Design)
LIFELINE is a medical emergency SOS app designed to help people provide immediate assistance to their loved ones during a medical emergency. The app is just one step away from offering multisource medical help. By long-pressing the SOS quick action button on the home screen, it alerts emergency contacts and prompts users to fill out a medical emergency form with four quick MCQs to send the right help. This removes the need for calling emergency services and explaining the situation.
The app also features live ambulance tracking with an estimated arrival time, designed to reduce user anxiety and keep them informed. It provides medical tutorials with quick steps and video guides for different medical issues, helping users stabilize the patient’s condition while waiting for the ambulance. These features are meant to keep users calm, guide them through necessary steps without stress, and ensure quick help.
Additionally, the app includes a chatbot to help users learn more about its features and services. LIFELINE is designed to be easily accessible, as most people carry their mobile phones with them at all times.
My initial goal for this project was to provide users with quick access to medical help, guide them on important medical steps, save time, and make the process as quick and simple as possible.
