Overview

A quick view of what the product was, who it was designed for and what the design needed to solve.

A fantasy cricket product spanning registration, KYC, match discovery, contest participation, team creation and wallet flows.

Cricket fans, first-time fantasy users, repeat contest participants and real-money players who need clarity before they commit.

Make a data-heavy fantasy product feel fast and trustworthy across onboarding, contest comparison, team selection and money actions.
Goal
Create a scalable mobile system where users can move from sign up to contest entry with confidence and very little confusion.
Research
The Problem
Fantasy products carry a lot of decision-heavy information: matches, prize pools, entry fees, spots, teams, wallet balance, KYC steps and deadlines. The challenge with Six Dreams was reducing hesitation at every one of those moments without flattening the excitement of the game.
01
Contest Overload
Users need to compare prize pool, entry fee, spots and winning chances without reading every detail.
02
Trust Before Entry
Users need clear contest rules, fee visibility and product signals before they feel safe entering a paid match.
03
Team Creation Complexity
Users need to manage player selection, roles, credits and captain choices without losing track.
04
Wallet Confidence
Deposit, bonus and winnings needed clear separation because users are dealing with real-money contests.
Role & Ownership
UI/UX Design Lead
I led the design direction for Six Dreams across onboarding, contest discovery, contest detail, team creation, wallet and KYC flows. My role was to shape the product structure, simplify high-decision screens and build a consistent mobile system that felt credible for real-money play.
Product Flow
Structured the core journeys for match discovery, contest joining, team creation and live tracking.
Contest UX
Structured contest browsing, detail views and entry decision-making so users could compare prize pools and fees quickly.
Interface Design
Designed high-fidelity mobile screens for home, registration, KYC, contests, team creation, wallet and transactions.
Design System
Created reusable cards, buttons, filters, tabs, financial summaries and status patterns across the app.
UX Content
Wrote clearer copy for rules, empty states, errors, confirmations and money-related actions.
Handoff
Prepared structured design files, component states and implementation notes for development.
User Journey
Core User Flow
The product flow was designed to keep one decision in focus at a time, from registration to KYC, contest discovery, team creation and final contest entry.
The flow keeps the user focused on one decision at a time — from choosing a contest to building a team and following results.
Design System
Design System
A lightweight design system helped keep the app consistent across registration, contests, team creation, wallet and transaction experiences. Since the product repeats high-stakes actions across many screens, reusable components were essential for scale.

Learnings
This project reinforced how much trust design matters in fantasy products. The interface was not only about sports excitement. It also had to support money, compliance and repeated decision-making. My focus was to make those moments feel sharper, calmer and more understandable without losing the energy expected from a fantasy cricket app.
Six Dreams was designed to make contest participation feel quicker, cleaner and more trustworthy for Indian fantasy users.
