League Lab Default Themes


The Client: League Lab

My Role: UI/UX Manager


The Ask: Design default themes to be used by leagues

When: Spring 2024

Tools: Figma







Our old default themes were looking pretty dated, and it was clear we needed a fresh approach. I took on the task of designing new themes that are not just modern and clean, but also modular and easy for users to edit. My goal was to create themes that would give our 80+ leagues across North America a stylish, contemporary look while providing the flexibility they need to make quick adjustments.

The project involved designing these themes from the ground up and pitching them internally, resulting in a set of sleek, user-friendly themes that bring a new level of customization and visual appeal to our leagues.


Gathering Inspiration

Before I began designing, I looked at existing leagues within the League Lab system for inspiration. The main questions I asked were: Is it usable and accessible? Is all information easy to get to? Does it look modern?





The Challenge

The current default themes that League Lab offers are outdated and messy. We wanted to update our default themes so that they look more modern and in-line with league website across the industry.


Current Default Theme Examples




The Game Plan:

Offer at least 5 default themes that are:

- Unique from one another
- All include the same information
- Have a modern, clean look







Three Rounds of Wireframes

Once the low-fidelity wireframes got the green light, I advanced to mid-fidelity wireframes, refining the design further. With that iteration approved, I then developed high-fidelity wireframes. Following this, I focused on enhancing key aspects of each theme to highlight their unique features, where relevant.
