About

Systems thinker with a shipping habit.

Five years of designing things that had to survive contact with real users, real constraints, and real engineers.

The long version[annotated]

Background

The short version

I'm Dhrumil. I've spent 5+ years designing 0-to-1 products across health tech, enterprise SaaS, and AI, working the whole stretch: research, UX, design systems, visual design, and production builds in Framer and React. Most designers stop at handoff. I don't.

The flagship

N1 Care is an AI clinical intelligence platform where I was the sole designer on a 23-person team: 10 modules from concept to production, a design system built from scratch, and a 75% reduction in the time clinicians need to generate a patient report.

Before that

As founding product designer at Duggup I shipped v1.0 in five months and watched 2,000 people use it in the first week. Founding design is mostly deciding what not to build, in public, while everyone watches.

Why the systems habit

I came to design from mechanical engineering, which explains a few things: the fondness for systems, the belief that a drawing should be buildable, and the inability to leave a tolerance unspecified. Self-taught since the pivot, ranked top 50 of 455,534 designers in Embark 2021.

How I work now

These days I design with AI in the loop, Claude Code and Figma MCP mostly. I design the system and direct the build; the robots type faster than I do, but they still can't tell which of the eight options is the right one. That part stays human.

Say hello

Fifteen minutes is usually enough.

Enough to work out whether this is a fit. If it isn’t, I will say so and point you at someone better suited.
