About Shruti Dhavala
I’m a Product Design leader with 11+ years of experience, currently leading design for the Patient Insights product within the Saama suite. I focus on simplifying complex healthcare data into clear, actionable user experiences.I partner closely with PMs and engineers to influence product decisions, bring clarity to ambiguous problems, and drive well-defined, scalable user flows. I push teams to think beyond screens—validate deeply, simplify aggressively, and build with intent.My experience across SaaS and consulting helps me balance speed with depth and ownership with alignment. I actively mentor designers and foster a culture of open critique and thoughtful collaboration.I leverage AI tools like GPT, Gemini, Figma Make, and Replit to accelerate prototyping and decision-making.I believe great design comes from clarity—understand deeply, challenge assumptions, and simplify until it feels obvious.
