Enhancing DraftKings' Daily Fantasy Sports Web Experience

A high-level overview of best-in-class live sports gaming products as the lead UX/ UI Designer for DraftKings Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) App. DFS players struggled to find and understand contest rules, creating friction in qualification and gameplay. As part of a small, high-impact startup team at DraftKings, I reimagine how contest rules were presented—making them faster to access, easier to identify, and visually engaging without overwhelming players. I collaborated cross-functionally with Product, Content, Engineering, and Creative partners to strengthen player engagement and improve re-entry conversion for returning players.

The Outcome:

Redesigning players experience improved clarity and discoverability across contest rules and prize access, resulting in deeper engagement for active players. Post-season, players spent an average of 45 additional minutes engaging with contest content compared to the previous season, alongside a 30% increase in interaction with qualified game prizes—indicating clearer pathways, stronger CTAs, and reduced friction throughout the experience.

System Approach: The solution upheld DraftKings brand consistency, refreshed shared UI components for scalability, and optimized CTA placement to help active players access and engage with game prizes faster and more intuitively.
