Underdog Sports Mobile App

The Client: Underdog Sports Seattle

My Role: UI/UX Manager

The Ask: Design the look and feel of the Underdog Sports Seattle mobile app

When: Fall 2024 - Winter 2025

Tools: Figma

Making it easy and fun for new and
existing players to play their games.

The App: Before

The app was an existing shell of a past league app without a UX Manager. I was brought in to overhaul the look and feel of the app to fit Underdog Seattle.

My process was as follows:
Audit the app (Weekly)
Review developer notes
Meet with my PM
Design new wireframes
Repeat until hand-off

Weekly Usability Audits

Weekly UX audits I performed on the app for the 3 months I worked on it. I would make notes on the screens and they would be resolved by our lead developer.

The App: After

Page by page comparisons of my wireframes and the final app screens.

Dashboard

The dashboard is the landing page for both new and old players. Therefore we had to make a dashboard that was clear for all players to understand. It had to include easy ways for players to RSVP to games, view old game details, and be one-click away from their schedule and chat.

Game Details

The game details page had to include three things: Directions and special access instructions (if necessary) and RSVP view/options.

We paid special attention to the special instructions. Special instructions are certain things that new players may not know about where they’re playing: Gate codes, no parking areas, etc. Because we catered the app to new and indy players (”indiy” = independent players: players who aren’t part of a set team and/or frequently sub for teams) this was necessary for them to enjoy their games, return to the app, and rate their games.
