Ideation
Designed to solve a need.
A built-in timer and coach.
Martial artists needed a way to set specific round lengths, rest lengths, and number of rounds for their sparring sessions. They also need a way to get a quick assessment of their performance in between rounds and a more detailed assessment at the end of the each session.
A simple and intuitive experience.
SparMetric was designed with big, bold, and concise visual elements and a simple app flow so users can get what they need when they need it—even on the cusp of exhaustion.

“I have been training since I was 8 years old and I was born to fight. SparMetric is amazing because it helps my coaches and I see the little mistakes I make during sparring that could cost me a fight.

Visual Design
Designed with meaning.
Not just any colours.
SparMetric’s colour palette is sourced from Google Material and is inspired by MMA and boxing design themes. The primary colours of black and dark greys set a subdued and serious tone while the yellow accent colour adds a sense of action and energy. The secondary colours are used to represent the red and blue corners found in MMA and boxing matches are used to represent their respective stats.
