The Mission
Traditional sports betting platforms often exclude younger audiences and individuals who want to enjoy predictive sports engagement without financial stakes. Many casual sports fans also lack an intuitive platform for tracking statistics and making informed predictions. WinShare was developed to provide a risk-free, engaging, and interactive alternative for users to test their sports knowledge and compete with others.
My Part
As the lead UX/UI designer, I worked on conceptualizing and designing the platform’s interface, ensuring that the user experience was intuitive, competitive, and visually engaging. I collaborated with developers and testers to refine usability, balance interactivity with simplicity, and create a seamless navigation experience.
Research & Insights
To understand user needs, I conducted surveys and interviews with sports enthusiasts and casual fans. Key takeaways included:
Risk concerns: Users wanted a way to engage with predictions without financial gambling.
Data accessibility: Users needed an easy-to-read display of statistics and trends for informed decision-making.
Community engagement: Many users preferred a competitive yet friendly leaderboard system to compare performance.
Key Features
Points-Based Wagering System – Users place bets using points instead of real money, allowing for risk-free competition.
Real-Time Sports Statistics – Displays live game updates, player stats, and team performance trends.
Prediction & Leaderboard System – Users can make predictions and track their ranking against others.
Interactive & User-Friendly Interface – A clean, intuitive layout ensures easy navigation and an engaging experience.

Design Process
Color Scheme & Aesthetic: Tested multiple styles to establish the layout, color scheme, and sport aesthetic along with multiple interface options.
User Testing & Feedback: Conducted usability testing with sports fans to refine navigation and data visualization.
