Dhrumil Kherde · Product Designer + Design Engineer

I design the system. Then I ship it.

Five years taking products from zero to production: clinical platforms, design systems built from scratch, AI products. Most designers stop at handoff. I keep going, in React and Framer.

Selected work

Four engagements, each with its own sheet: what it was, what I did, what changed.

Shipped

Design credit is easy to claim, so here is the verifiable kind. Every row is live. The web apps I designed, then built by directing Claude Code. The Framer sites I designed and built myself, as an official Framer Partner.

Sign-offs

What clients put on record after the work shipped.

“Outstanding job! In just one week, it felt as though we had been working together for over a month.”

Jasper Middendorp · CTO, N1 Healthcare

“One of the most intuitive and skilled designers, with an extremely detailed understanding of both functionality and engaging design. A very rare combo, and it naturally reflects in our long standing relationship with him and our deep reliance on his expertise in multiple projects at varying scales.”

Gaurav Achiah · Founder, Ajan Media

“We got the first draft in less than a week, and it was almost-perfect. It was a delight to work with Dhrumil, and I can see myself returning with more work in the future.”

Suraj Boddu · Co-founder, Samvād

From tolerances to tokens

I studied mechanical engineering and knew by second year it was the wrong room. My brother is a graphic designer, a senior handed me our college symposium's design work, and that was the pivot. I taught myself UX on YouTube, entered a national design competition, and placed in the top 50 of 455,534 students. The engineering never left: I still think in systems, constraints, and tolerances. They just measure interfaces now.

Since then I have been the founding designer at Duggup, design lead on N1 Care, and sole designer on Expand Health. Health tech is my specialty: dense clinical data, real consequences, and the constant question of how much to show a person and when.

My workflow is AI-first, with Claude Code, Figma MCP, and Codex in the loop from day one. That is what closes the gap between the design file and the deployed thing, and it is why everything on this page exists in production rather than in a slide deck. This site included: I designed it, then directed the build.
