UniScore is a platform that provides users with live score tracking across various sports including football, basketball, badminton, tennis,... The product is designed for everyday sports followers who want a quick and simple way to stay updated with real-time match results, rankings, and fixtures.

Understanding Market and User Challenges

Understanding Market and User Challenges

In Europe and the Americas, football fans crave more than scores — they want clear, reliable data and engaging experiences. Yet Uniscore’s outdated UI and limited features fell short of these expectations. To better serve passionate fans and data-driven users, the product needed a refreshed interface and improved data presentation that meets modern usability standards.

What needs to change for users?

Joining the project at a later stage, I noticed that many design decisions were made reactively rather than strategically. This led to scattered user experiences, unclear feature priorities, and challenges in creating a cohesive visual identity.

From Brainstorming to Solutions

From Brainstorming to Solutions

This FigJam board captured our collaborative ideation session with stakeholders and developers, where we evaluated feature feasibility and business impact. The outcome helped define which ideas could realistically move forward into design and development.

From Feature Planning to Functional UI

Once the features were prioritized, I designed high-fidelity screens and gathered internal feedback within the design team. After finalizing, I delivered the designs to developers, walked them through the feature flows, and collaborated on possible adjustments. Once aligned, the features were implemented and uploaded to Firebase for internal testing across teams.

Making Search More Flexible

Making Search More Flexible

Sports fans need to find information quickly, and a search bar allows them to bypass endless scrolling. Users can search for specific matches, teams, or players to get instant updates on scores, lineups, and schedules.

Users can quickly access their preferred information, like an overview of their favorite teams on the homepage, without having to search for it every time. 

Enhancing User Engagement with Push Notifications Management

Enhancing User Engagement with Push Notifications Management

Push notifications are important for sports apps because they deliver real-time updates, keep users engaged, and personalize the experience.


  • Real-Time Updates: Fans receive instant alerts about live scores, match results

  • Personalized Content: Users can customize notifications based on their favorite matches

  • Enhanced User Engagement: Push notifications keep users returning to the app, increasing retention and engagement rates.

Scaling the experience from mobile to web

Scaling the experience from mobile to web

Since Uniscore is not only used on mobile but also extended to the website, I ensured a consistent design language across platforms.

  • Unified UI system: typography, colors, and components are standardized across mobile and web.

  • Responsive adaptation: layouts adapt fluidly to different screen sizes.

  • Seamless experience: users can switch between app and web without confusion.

Learnings & Reflection

Learnings & Reflection

This project challenged me with its fast-paced delivery—there was no BA, and I had to prioritize features without much experience. It was overwhelming at first.

I learned to be more proactive in communicating with the dev team and leads. Their feedback helped me design with better technical awareness, and I actually enjoyed those discussions a lot.

I also realized I needed to let go of perfectionism. "Done is better than perfect" became a mindset I’m learning to adopt.
