Gaming platform, dashboard, credit system and public pages
Led design for the landing page, public pages, game dashboard and credit-system logic.
What I owned
- Designed the public site and the pages that brought players into the game.
- Designed the player dashboard and related account screens.
- Worked through the credit-system UX and interaction logic behind rewards and utility.

About the project
- Role: Lead Designer at Nifty League. I worked on the public pages, marketing surfaces, game dashboard, player systems, asset logic, credit-system UX and interactive prototypes.
- What it is: Nifty League was a Web3 gaming platform built around competitive play, player-owned assets, rewards, NFTL utility and the wider Niftyverse. The product needed to explain wallet connection, game entry, player assets, credits, marketplace actions and dashboard management to both crypto-native players and people new to Web3.
- Outcome: Nifty League later announced a $5M seed round led by RSE Ventures to expand its NFT gaming metaverse. This case study covers my work on the public pages, game dashboard, player economy and product flows.
Prototype
- Animated flow: The video follows the clickable prototype through marketplace discovery, asset detail, rental confirmation, dashboard management, the game hub, leaderboards, wallet onboarding, failure recovery, settings and mobile screens.
- Interactive prototype: /prototype/niftyleague/. The flow moves from discovery and asset decisions into rental, management, retention, recovery and mobile use.
The product problem
Web3 games often bury the game under token dashboards, jargon and disconnected wallet actions. Players needed to understand asset ownership, rentals, rewards, game access and credits without feeling as though they were using a finance product.
The public site and product had to explain why the platform mattered, help players compare assets by rarity and yield, then carry that decision into gameplay, the marketplace or the dashboard.
What I designed
- Public and marketing pages: I presented Nifty League as a game first, then explained the ownership, reward and marketplace mechanics behind it.
- Game dashboard: I designed the main view for balances, rewards, active leases, inventory, activity history and the actions that connect assets to gameplay.
- Credit-system logic: I worked through how credits, rewards and player progression fit into the game loop, so the system did not read like an abstract token mechanic.
- Asset and marketplace flows: I designed how players compare assets, inspect metadata, read multiplier and yield signals, then choose whether to rent or own an asset.
Flow and interaction model
- Marketplace to decision: Players browse assets, filter by game or category and open a detail view with traits, rarity, yield history and rental history.
- Decision to action: The asset page separates an immediate rental from a bid. The dashboard then supports staking, lease management, reward claims and inventory review.
- Action to recovery: Wallet onboarding, transaction failures and missing-page states show how players recover when the main flow breaks.
Extended surfaces
- Game hub: A game-specific page shows economy health, rentable assets, participation, staking prompts, recent leases and top earners.
- Leaderboard: Global rankings make player performance and available rewards visible.
- Settings and wallet onboarding: Account setup, public profiles, notifications, privacy and connected-wallet controls complete the main product flows.
Impact
Worked with the Nifty League team as lead designer to design gaming dashboards, gamification systems, player assets, credit-system logic and marketing/public pages for a Web3 gaming platform that later announced a $5M seed round.
My work covered the full player experience: the public story, the dashboard, the credit and reward logic, and the flows that connected Web3 actions to the game.
