99Starz is a Web3 platform that enables users to earn through blockchain-based games using a unique scholarship system. The project required a system where scholars, captains, and game masters could interact with NFT assets, badges, custom wallets, and revenue-sharing—all within a seamless and user-friendly experience.<br><br><br>

Onboarding new players and managing scholarships was a slow, manual process. Scholars were recruited through Discord and spreadsheets, causing inefficiencies, poor tracking, and high drop-off rates. 99Starz needed a more scalable, automated, and user-friendly platform.

The main audience was aspiring blockchain gamers (scholars) and game managers (masters and captains). They needed a structured, easy-to-follow system because the manual setup was time-consuming and confusing. We designed the solution to automate onboarding, badge minting, and asset management, simplifying the overall experience.

My approach involved research, then ideation. After that, I moved into prototyping, followed by testing.

This process helped the final design by aligning it with user needs and platform complexity, resulting in smoother workflows and higher adoption.

We used the following metrics to define success:

We chose these because they directly reflect user adoption, platform efficiency, and engagement—critical to a GameFi platform’s success.

The results showed a huge improvement in onboarding and user experience.

I faced the challenge of designing for multiple user roles with different needs and access levels, but I overcame it by creating clear, role-specific flows and adaptable components.

The key lesson I learned was that simplicity and clarity are crucial in complex ecosystems. I’ll apply this to future projects by always starting with visual flowcharts and validating with real users early on.

Working on 99Starz taught me how to merge user experience with Web3 logic. From gas fees to NFTs, it pushed me to think beyond typical app design. The success of this platform is proof that even in a decentralized, token-based world, good UX still wins.

Designing a scalable, user-friendly platform for accessing and earning in NFT-based games.

99Starz: Revolutionizing NFT-Based Game Access

Sharemundo is an enterprise-level project management solution created to rival tools like Monday, Asana, Wrike, and Trello. The platform is modular and tailored for multiple business sizes—from energy consultants to small businesses. I contributed to designing the user experience for key modules and the overall system architecture from a usability perspective.

Sharemundo aimed to consolidate key functionalities from top project management platforms into one ecosystem—without overwhelming users. The challenge was to design a flexible yet intuitive UI that supports task management, time tracking, invoicing, HR, reporting, and more, across company and project levels.

We started by analyzing competitor platforms (Trello, Monday, Asana, Wrike) to understand common patterns and user expectations. I mapped out the platform structure for all three Sharemundo variants (Basic, Small Company, Energy Consultant).

To avoid overwhelming users, I helped structure the left navigation into Company-level and Project-level sections. This kept related functions grouped and allowed users to switch contexts easily.
