Grant management system
For four years, I contributed to the evolution of a Grants management platform used by organisations to manage funding programs, application workflows, and review processes. After two years as an individual contributor, I transitioned into a managerial role and led a design team while continuing to shape product design direction and design operations.
Grant management portal
The administrator-facing platform supported complex workflows related to grant creation, application review, evaluation, and program management. My work focused on simplifying highly data-dense interfaces, improving consistency across modules, and introducing scalable interaction patterns that could support long-term product growth.
Applicant portal
The applicant portal was designed to help users navigate often complicated grant application processes with greater clarity and confidence. I worked on improving form structures, reducing friction in multi-step flows, and creating a more approachable experience for users with varying levels of digital literacy.
Design system
To support product scaling and reduce interface inconsistency, I established a reusable UI foundation consisting of shared components, layout rules, and interaction patterns. This system later became the basis for changing the design language after the product acquisition, enabling the product to evolve without a complete redesign.
Transition to the Lead UX designer & team lead role
After two years as a sole designer working on this product, I transitioned into a manager role and took over a design team. Alongside mentoring and team coordination, I built design processes, improved collaboration with engineers and product stakeholders, and ensured consistency of design quality across the growing product ecosystem.
I want to note Aleksandra’s professionalism and perfect knowledge of the project on which we worked. I have always received constructive feedback on my work which was crucial for my professional growth. UX/UI designer at Eurovensys
