For nearly a decade, I led UX consulting for ANII — Uruguay's National Agency for Research and Innovation, the public body managing innovation funding and research grants nationwide.
The challenge was unifying a fragmented digital ecosystem serving researchers, entrepreneurs, students, and evaluators — each with different needs, all interacting with high-stakes funding processes where clarity and trust are critical.
I built Uruguay's first government-level design system: components, accessibility patterns, and visual standards that became the foundation for multiple public-facing platforms. I led the redesign of the agency's full digital ecosystem and defined its product design strategy from the ground up.
The design system became a long-term asset. Platforms originally shipped a decade ago remain in active production today, with ongoing iteration. The work positioned ANII as an early driver of product design at a state level in Uruguay.
