Granti is a two‑sided platform that streamlines grant‑making by bringing funders and grantees into a unified workspace. In this project I was responsible for the full design process—starting with discovery and user research, developing user flows, sketching wireframes, crafting the product architecture and culminating in polished user interfaces. I worked with 2 developers and a product lead. The core objective was to construct a clear, role‑based experience that reduces administrative friction and enhances transparency for both sides.

The Challenges
Early discovery highlighted several friction points. Funders needed to track many applications, but the existing system offered limited insights and cumbersome navigation. Grantees felt unsure about their application status and lacked a reason to create profiles or return to the platform. Both roles had to work across disparate tools, making collaboration and transparency difficult. To fix this, I had to design two distinct experiences that felt cohesive.

The Solution
I developed role‑specific dashboards and workflows within a unified design system. Funders access high‑level financial data and can dive into tables of applications, grants and funds. Grantees have a simplified menu and see a list of their submissions with clear status tags and next‑step prompts. Throughout, I kept typography and interaction patterns consistent to reinforce brand unity.

The biggest challenge was creating east-to-use, configurable forms so funders could collect the right information, and multi‑stage application flows that guide grantees through required questions without overwhelm.

The Outcome
The result is a platform that reduces administrative workload and improves satisfaction for both user types. Funders gain quick insight into budgets and application pipelines, enabling faster, data‑driven decision‑making. Currently more than $25 million has been disbursed via Granti, and there are over 700 grantees on the platform.
