AFL Mint
Fostering a new era of footy memorabilia
UX/UI • Web3 • Marketplace
The AFL was entering a new era of fan engagement with digital collectibles, launching a pilot initiative to explore this emerging market. I led the platform design and UX for a custom marketplace, offering fans a new way to collect, buy, and sell video highlights and other digital memorabilia.

Problems & Goals
Simplifying digital collectibles for footy fans
AFL Mint was an exciting new pilot project, building a platform from the ground up to test a new era of digital fan experiences. We had great content but faced several challenges in managing emerging technology and connecting footy fans with a new type of collectible experience. As a 'test and learn' initiative, the focus was on exploring user engagement, gathering insights, and iterating based on early feedback.

Introducing NFTs to new audiences
Most AFL fans were unfamiliar with NFTs so we designed an experience that focused on tangible rewards like exclusive merch and events to make digital ownership feel approachable and valuable.

Changing perceptions
There’s a lot of uncertainty around NFTs, so we leaned on AFL’s credibility to help fans see the benefits of joining the community and owning digital items along with exclusive rewards and experiences.

Simplifying complex tech
Web3 can be complicated, so we kept things simple and familiar, making it easy for fans to join without needing to know the tech behind it.

Desktop research
Understanding the market
I researched industry leaders like NBA Topshot, NFL All Day and Opensea to identify best practices and opportunities where we could better serve AFL’s new users. I also analysed user patterns from more traditional online marketplaces and familiar AFL platforms to reduce any learning curves for our audience.

User research
Building with community insights
We launched a Discord community early on to gather direct feedback from users experienced with digital collectibles. Their suggestions informed key features and helped us quickly iterate on the platform based on real user needs.

Journeys
Mapping user journeys
Sitemaps helped to communicate with the dev team how all the parts worked together and highlighted MVP pages while we worked towards a full launch. Low definition user journeys were created ahead of carefully annotated design for every new feature for the dev team to follow and prototyped in high def when stakeholder or wider AFL club buy in was needed.

Benefits beyond collectibles
Following earlier iterations we revamped the homepage to more effectively communicate the added benefits of the program beyond the collectibles. We had to explain what Mint was at a glance and offer a taste of collecting with a free collectible and previews of your favourite teams moments right on the homepage.

Creating an account
Simplifying a multi-step signup process
Signing up for AFL Mint involved multiple steps: creating an AFL iD, setting up a digital wallet, and completing a Mint profile. To reduce friction, we iterated on this journey as the products evolved. Automating wallet creation and integrating AFL iD profiles with team-themed styling helped streamline the experience for fans, whether they were new to the platform or returning users.

Nurturing new collectors with guides and contextual help
Web3 is still in the early adopter phase and the industry wide experience for new users needs a lot of work. To help our new AFL Mint audience I created contexual guidance, resources and ways to get trusted help when needed.

Buy a pack
Seamless and efficient checkout
Collectors could purchase first-release 'lucky dip' packs of digital collectibles during a limited drop window. To ensure faster transactions and avoid issues with delayed payments, we encouraged collectors to preload their wallets, facilitating instant, seamless checkouts. After user testing, we streamlined the process by allowing collectors to choose to save the pack and open later or to now rip open their packs directly from the purchase page, making it easier for them to reveal their collectibles and make repeat purchases without unnecessary steps.

The reveal
Unveiling moments and rare collectibles
The reveal is a pivotal moment for collectors, and I wanted to make it feel special, whether users were opening a pack of moments or discovering a rare one-of-one Genesis ball. I worked closely with our motion designer, sound designer, and developer to craft captivating reveal experiences that built anticipation and excitement. Following the reveal, collectors could download and share their haul with others in the Discord community, fueling further engagement and keeping the momentum going.

Buying
Helping collectors find their favourites
Purchasing packs was an exciting but randomised experience, with collectors receiving moments and serial numbers by chance. With the introduction of the marketplace, we wanted to give collectors more control. I led the design of an intuitive interface that allowed users to easily filter and sort through moments based on key properties, such as serial number or player. This made it easy for collectors to find the exact moment they wanted—whether it was a specific jumper number or a low serial—and gave them the tools to make smarter buying decisions.

Selling
Simplifying the listing process
I wanted the selling experience to be easy for new collectors while also providing the details that experienced sellers expected. Collectors could simply select an item from their collection, enter a price, and confirm the listing. To assist with pricing, I included a guide that displayed current listings and historical sales data for the same item, helping sellers set a fair and competitive price. This streamlined process made it simple for anyone to list items, while still offering the depth and insights that seasoned users needed to optimise their sales.

Results & Impact
Launching a world class platform in a tough market
AFL Mint launched as a world-class platform in a tough and rapidly evolving market, receiving praise from industry leaders for its design and execution. Early interest was strong, and we cultivated a loyal community of core users who continue to engage with the platform. Launching during a market downturn for NFTs, we faced headwinds like payment challenges with some banks and limited integration into the broader AFL ecosystem. Despite these hurdles, we successfully established a solid foundation for AFL Mint. As Web3 technology becomes more beginner-friendly and the strategy evolves, the platform is well-positioned to grow and better connect with fans.

Final thoughts
Building a unique platform with an incredible team
This project was an incredible opportunity to design something from the ground up and work with a talented team who pushed creative boundaries with motion graphics and video content. While NFTs and Web3 weren’t areas I was initially drawn to, tackling complex problems like digital wallets, user onboarding, and marketplace interactions helped me grow as a designer. The NFT space remains challenging, especially for beginners, and some aspects of the experience were constrained by third-party technology. Despite the hurdles, I’m proud to have helped create a world-class platform that serves as a foundation for AFL’s digital collectibles strategy moving forward.
Shoutouts to the design team at AFL Studios including art direction by Marty Cook, motion & 3D by John Robinson, graphic design by Zoe Caracatsanoudis and copy by Laura Donnelly. And to the dev team at Animoca/Sportpass, including Shane Pollard, Grant Cahn and Julian Rutherford.
