Introduction
World Table Tennis (WTT), established by the ITTF in 2019, sought to elevate table tennis to the same level as other major sports by creating a groundbreaking digital platform. Unlike other sports, table tennis did not have any dedicated apps, making this app the first of its kind.
The goal was to provide fans and players with a seamless way to engage with the sport, access real-time match updates, follow their favorite players, and stay informed on tournaments and rankings.
My Role
As a UI/UX Designer for World Table Tennis, I collaborated closely with the development team and stakeholders to design an intuitive and engaging mobile app.
My responsibilities included conducting user research, creating wireframes and prototypes, developing the visual design, and contributing to frontend development. The goal was to deliver a consistent user experience that aligned with WTT’s brand and mission.
Challenges
Engaging a Global Audience: Developing features that appeal to table tennis fans worldwide and enhance their connection to the sport.
Real-Time Match Updates: Ensuring fans have access to live scores, streams, and real-time tournament information.
Seamless Ticketing Experience: Facilitating an efficient and user-friendly ticketing process for WTT events.
Creating a First-of-Its-Kind App: Developing a pioneering app for a sport that had not previously embraced this level of digital engagement.

Final Outcome

The app has been regularly updated based on user feedback, ensuring it continues to meet the needs of fans and enhances their experience throughout the tournament seasons.
