Hello! I am Jessica Barthelt, a game designer, artist, and voice actress. I graduated from Bradley University in May 2023 with a Bachelor of Arts in Game Design. I am a well-rounded individual capable of working both on my own and with others. Creativity is my ultimate passion and I thrive on getting to share it with other people. I have taken on numerous roles over the years at school, including:
C# Programmer, Game development team leader, Game designer, Concept artist, Game tester, UI designer, 3D Modeler, Sound designer, Voice Actress.
I have worked with Deep Silver Volition as a Systems and Missions designer on Saints Row (2022).
I am a certified Adobe Photoshop user according to the American Graphics Institute exam, with additional experience in Unity, Unreal Engine, Visual Studio, Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, Audition, and InDesign.
I have a passion for worldbuilding, designing characters and UI, writing narratives, and creating unique game mechanics.
My favorite games include Hades, Metal Hellsinger, Kid Icarus Uprising, Devil May Cry, and Pokémon to name a few. I am always doing my best to remain up-to-date on the latest releases, and what makes them popular and/or unique from both a design and experience standpoint. While I primarily enjoy fighting games and RPGs, I am always open to exploring all kinds of genres.
I have many projects to showcase on this website, both from my Bradley University classes and my free time. I hope that my work here will pique your interest.
