Dark-mode navigation proposal for Uwazi, showing both the collapsed icon-only rail and the full expanded sidebar.
The goal was to modernize the IA, reduce visual noise, and make space for power-user features without overwhelming first-time users. Designed as a flexible system that adapts to different screen sizes and workflows.

Seems so long ago. When Covid hit, while nobody knew what was going to happen, I quickly designed and developed a little information app for my country with vanilla css and CRA (it was the default react app generator at the time).
The repo was forked and used in Brazil and Mexico with an amazing community that gathered around the app and sharing OSInt.
Glad that I found the screenshot as I don't want to update the repo lol

Last weekend I snapped and started making one poster a day. I wanted to go back to how I started with photoshop 22 years ago.
No briefs, no grid, just whatever hits first, politics, culture, random chaos.
All mixed-media, collage, texture, and gut.
They’re loud, fast, and a little unhinged. It's been so much fun!!! 😅

Another from 2019, I redesigned the WhoYouGot? iOS app, a friendly betting experience where users challenge friends on game outcomes.
This was a quick two-month project where I took on the full product design effort: mapping & rethinking user-flows, redesigning every screen, and building a fresh design system with native iOS patterns and assets. A fun blend of sports, competition, and clean interaction design. 😁

A challenging and complex interaction for Uwazi: text referencing and paragraph-level linking inside long documents.
Users needed to highlight excerpts inside other existing highlights, stack multiple reference layers, and toggle visibility without losing context. It required a system of “selection layers” that stays readable even as relationships grow dense, almost like version control, but for meaning.

Another component iteration for Uwazi, a revamp of the dynamic filter panel, cleaning up hierarchy, spacing, and states for better readability in both light and dark mode.
The goal was to make filtering large datasets feel calm instead of overwhelming: clear typography, consistent alignment, meaningful contrast, dynamic modules, and interaction states that don’t fight for attention. Small UI refinements, big usability gain

A recent feature I designed for Uwazi: a visual Query Builder that lets users create complex searches by traversing relationships and inheriting properties across multiple templates.
The goal was to give non-technical users the power of a graph query, selecting entities, relationships, conditions, and inherited fields through a guided UI.
It turned into a powerful way to surface patterns in large, structured datasets.

This was one of the last features I worked on at Uwazi, a drawer component for relationships navigation on complex datasets.
It became a visual way to explore connections between documents, people, and events. I designed the flows and components using Tailwind, keeping the system flexible, consistent, and scalable.

Another one from the books, from 2019 for Future Family, a platform that helps make IVF and fertility care more accessible.
I worked on redesigning the members area, mapping user flows, designing components, and creating the dashboard and form interactions.
It was a short project, but one that reminded me how thoughtful design can bring clarity and reassurance to complex experiences.

Found this old data-viz mockup from a Viacom project back in 2020, an early feature meant to measure attention scores and impressions across broadcast and streaming. It was also my first real dive into machine learning, working side by side with brilliant data scientists.

Hey everyone 👋
I recently lost my job, so I’ve been taking some time to rethink things and figure out what’s next. Right now, I’m relearning Framer (last time I used it I had to learn CoffeeScript 😅). I just put my new website online www.juanmnl.com (http://www.juanmnl.com) (not fully finished yet, but live! Any feedback is always appreciated)
Feels good to be creating again and slowly getting back into the design flow. Looking forward to reconnecting with other designers, sharing progress, and learning from everyone in this community. Glad to be here, meet new people, and share a bit of what I’m working on.
