Bellator MMA Mobile App

Role

Sr. UX Designer

Focus

End-to-End Product Design, Live Streaming UX, Brand Alignment

Bellator MMA, a Viacom property, needed a full mobile app redesign to bring the fan experience up to date. The old app had low ratings, outdated design, and didn’t support live streaming or TV-provider sign-ins. I led the end-to-end redesign from concept to delivery.

Overview

Challenge

How can we make watching live events feel smooth and exciting while strengthening the brand and engaging fans more deeply?

  • Defined core app flows and live event logic from early requirements.

  • Designed UI states for messaging, countdowns, and event transitions.

  • Collaborated with brand teams to align app, web, and broadcast visuals.

  • Conducted user tests to refine flows and finalize prototypes for handoff.

Approach

The redesign improved app usability, strengthened Bellator’s visual identity, and helped drive greater engagement with live digital events.
