Design a seamless, trustworthy, and emotionally engaging digital marketplace for rare sports memorabilia that lets fans discover, buy (including fractional ownership), and engage with iconic items. The experience covers the full journey - before, during, and after investment - helping users understand the concept, confidently purchase shares or whole items, manage collections through a clear dashboard, and connect with the social impact.

User Interview Findings
User Interview Findings
To understand the needs of the user, myself and a team of researchers spoke to over 40 people and we ensured all our interviewees were relevant for your research via our screener survey.
Our key findings were:
Sentimentality: Fans buy feelings, not just objects - moments they want to hold onto, like a first match or a shared family ritual.
Trust: Trust is non-negotiable - fans need to believe in authenticity and integrity before emotional or financial investment can happen.
Icons: Loyalty to specific athletes drives purchases more than category or price - fans want a connection to the person behind their passion.
Community: Being part of a passionate group builds trust and makes the experience richer beyond transactions.
Pride: Authenticity and provenance matter - fans want to proudly display and share the story behind their collection.

Immersive Research
To deepen my understanding of users beyond screens and interviews, I visited the Fanatics Collectibles flagship store in London as an observer. As a major player in the space, it offered a chance to observe real behaviour - how people interacted with memorabilia, what they lingered on, what created excitement, and what made items feel special. Seeing fans interact with memorabilia in person highlighted how much value comes from storytelling, visibility of authenticity, and the shared excitement around iconic items. These observations directly informed how I approached anticipation, trust, and emotional engagement in a digital environment.

Competitor Analysis
Competitor Analysis
The sports memorabilia market is highly competitive, dominated by major platforms like Rally, Fanatics, and Collectable, as well as prestigious auction houses such as Sotheby’s and Heritage, and large marketplaces like eBay. These players benefit from long-standing reputations, vast inventories, and strong brand trust.
However, the landscape is also fragmented and intimidating for everyday fans. Auction houses feel exclusive and inaccessible, while online marketplaces suffer from inconsistent verification and the risk of counterfeits. This creates a clear opportunity for a platform that combines trust, transparency, and a more welcoming fan-first experience.

Auction houses feel exclusive and inaccessible, while online marketplaces suffer from inconsistent verification and the risk of counterfeits. This creates a clear opportunity for a platform that combines trust, transparency, and a more welcoming fan-first experience.

This matrix maps out the current competitor landscape. On one axis, we have fan-focused experiences, and on the opposite, investor-focused platforms. Along the other axis, we move from formal and transactional at the bottom to personal and emotionally led at the top. What becomes immediately clear is the gap in the upper fan-focused space - no major player is delivering a truly personal, story-driven experience for fans. And that’s exactly where Collectivault can stand out.
So this is where Collectivault would sit.
Going back to the interview insights, in order to create a personal experience and stand out in the market, we need:

Each 1% share grants legally recognised ownership of this fully authenticated cricket bat, verified by Collectivault. Share values are regularly updated based on market demand and trading activity. Because prices can rise or fall and market liquidity may be limited, buying or selling shares may not always be instantaneous. The bat is kept in a secure, climate controlled facility with professional care to maintain its condition and provenance, and will remain stored unless a single owner acquires 100% ownership.

Based on feedback from the low-fidelity testing, I identified important areas to improve clarity, navigation, and user engagement. These insights guided the next step - refining the design through mid-fidelity prototypes to create a more intuitive and engaging experience for Collectivault users.

Testing again! After implementing improvements into my mid-fidelity wireframes, I moved into a second round of user testing. This allowed me to validate the changes, ensure they truly enhanced the experience, and identify any remaining challenges. Gathering fresh user feedback at this stage was crucial to fine tune the design and move closer to a seamless, user-centred platform.

Storytelling
Storytelling
I was deliberate about how this work was communicated. Rather than presenting it as a series of UX steps, I built a clear narrative that tied everything together - research findings, market context, business goals, and future opportunities. This approach helped the client understand not only the proposed solution but also the reasoning behind it and its long-term potential. Using storytelling allowed me to move beyond features and processes and communicate a clear point of view that resonated with stakeholders.
