The problem
Field-hockey fans want live scores, streams, and news in one fast app they can glance at, but those were scattered across separate places. The job was to bring them together and make them effortless on mobile.
The work
Personalising the first run
The entry flow had to move quickly from access to useful setup: get in, understand the value, choose what you care about, and decide which updates you want.
Fans could build their favourites from the level that made sense to them - federation, team, or player - and move from selection into a richer player view.
Scores, streams and news for the quick glance
People check live sport in short bursts, usually mid-task. I designed the score views to read instantly and prototyped the core flows to test the interaction model before engineering built it.
Rather than scatter scores, video, and news, I brought them into one coherent app, so following hockey is a single, simple habit.
Making failed account states recoverable
The form states cover the less glamorous but important parts of the app: validation, recovery, and a clear way back into the product.
What changed
As Interaction and Visual Designer, I designed and prototyped the mobile journeys for access, personalisation, live scores, streaming, news and recovery across iOS and Android; no adoption or performance outcome is claimed.
Live scores had to work in repeated short glances
I kept score, match state and the next useful action visually dominant to support the brief, repeated glances common in live sport.
