Sports / Consumer — 2023
Bighits Sports App
A fast, social-first sports app experience designed for matchday energy.

01
The challenge
Sports fans check scores in seconds, not sessions. Bighits needed an app that delivers live moments instantly while building a social layer fans actually return to.
02
The approach
I designed around the 8-second check-in: live state first, one-thumb navigation, and celebration micro-interactions that make a goal feel like a goal.
03
The result
A shipped consumer app with a UI that keeps matchday emotion intact — fast to scan, hard to put down.
Inside the project
Bighits is a sports product competing for attention in a space full of polished, fast-moving apps, so the design had to feel energetic without becoming chaotic. The work started by clarifying the core loop, what a user comes to do most often, and designing the navigation and home experience around making that effortless, so the energy of the brand never came at the cost of usability.
From there it was about the details that make a consumer app feel alive: a confident visual language, motion that rewards interaction, and onboarding that gets people to the fun quickly rather than asking for patience up front.
Every screen was designed mobile-first and for the one-thumb reality of how sports fans actually use their phones, often in short bursts and distracted moments, which raised the bar for how immediately clear each screen had to be. Balancing high energy with genuine ease of use is the hard part in this category, and getting it right is what keeps a consumer app from being deleted after a day. The result is an app that feels exciting and is still effortless to move through, a product that earns its place on the home screen rather than relying on a launch spike that fades once the novelty does, the kind of everyday usability that turns a curious first-time user into a regular one who keeps coming back.
