2024PlaySolana was building PSG1, a handheld gaming console with a built-in crypto wallet. I was the sole product designer and designed the OS interface.
Starting on paper
Before moving to digital screens, I sketched on paper at the console’s actual size to understand its dimensions and how much could comfortably fit on the display.
Designing around the controls
The interface needed to work with both physical buttons and touch. I focused on clear selection states, predictable directional navigation, and consistent button actions across the OS.
Marketing websites
I designed the marketing websites with a retro gaming style. For the community presale I framed the interface as an arcade cabinet with the sale details and purchase controls inside its screen.
Outcome
PSG1 launched, with thousands of devices purchased.
