# Seemant Shekhar

Head of Design at Heaps. Bangalore, India.

> I make complicated work tools feel obvious.

Designer for the software people sit in all day: B2B workflows, healthcare operations, design systems, and the parts where AI should take over the boring work.

Focus areas: B2B workflows, Design systems, AI products, Healthcare ops, 0 → 1, Team leadership.

## About

At Heaps I redesigned the tool Care Coaches use for patient follow-up calls; they now reach more patients each day ([case study](https://www.seemant.design/work/every-call-with-the-whole-story)). I also replaced a daily Excel email with a feedback dashboard: 20–30 minutes back for every auditor ([case study](https://www.seemant.design/work/from-excel-to-applause)).

Before that I was the only designer on Qubriux. Letting merchants explore with sample data while their store synced kept 25% more of them after a month ([case study](https://www.seemant.design/work/try-first-connect-later)).

PMs pull me in while the problem is still fuzzy. My team brings me their stuck flows, and their decks before a big review. I hand graphic design to the teammate whose taste in it beats mine.

I studied electronics at IIT Kharagpur, but I'd been drawing since I was a kid. Running the Spring Fest design team pulled me from posters to interfaces, and I never went back.

Off the clock: music, Dota, CS, poker, and quiz shows.

## Latest experiments

1. [Private PDF compressor](https://www.seemant.design/lab/pdf-compressor) (Shipped) – Shrinks heavy decks and documents on our own server, so sensitive files never pass through a third-party compressor.
2. [Figma to PowerPoint](https://www.seemant.design/lab/figma-to-powerpoint) (New) – A Figma plugin that turns our deck designs into PowerPoint files sales and marketing can actually edit, with nothing leaving the designer’s computer.
