Selected work

Case studies

Shipped

Payroll runs about 60% faster at Surf

Payroll SaaS

Mapped the end-to-end run, cut unnecessary review steps, and simplified submission for small businesses and CPAs.

Concept

Making refunds visible on MakeMyTrip

Travel · Mobile

A refund-or-rebook choice and a tracker that shows who holds your money, and the date it lands.

Concept

No surprises at the hospital desk

Health tech · App + HR

Plain answers about company health cover, and the real cost of a room in rupees, before admission.

Shipped

Ruto: from concept to launch

Email marketing · Web

Multiple rounds of usability testing shaped a mass-communication product people could use on day one.

Quick fix

A seat map you can walk into

Movie tickets · District

Seats on the right turned out to be on the left. A map drawn from the entrance fixes it; District's team replied.

Quick fix

Discovery for Spotify Premium

Music + podcasts

Premium removed the ads, and the discovery with them. A New feed brings it back, only with shows you don't follow.

How I work

From messy workflow to measurable change

Frame the problem

Map the whole flow and find where people get stuck before drawing a screen.

Research with evidence

Interviews, usability tests, support tickets and product data.

Design in a system

Flows and UI built on tokens and components, so decisions scale.

Measure the change

Agree the metric up front and check it after launch.

Impact

less payroll processing time at Surf

faster to raise an expense claim

Experience

Where I've done the work

Designed Payroll, Reimbursements, Reports, Time Tracking, Employee Self-Service and Onboarding for employers, employees and admins, as an individual contributor.
Redesigned Run Payroll by mapping the end-to-end process and removing unnecessary review steps: processing time down about 60%.
Designed a deadline-recovery flow for missed payroll dates: the system suggests the nearest valid pay date and employers accept it in one step.
Designed AI-assisted payroll preparation that explains where each value comes from and flags unusual entries; admins approve before anything is processed.
Redesigned expense submission using research and customer feedback: raising a claim is about 80% faster.
Designed time tracking, attendance, leave and self-service without a dedicated PM; automation cut manual time entries by 70%, and the team won Codetru's Best Team Award 2025.
Worked with the team to take Ruto from concept to launch: 28% better task efficiency, 40% fewer usability issues.
Built Surf's design system: tokens, components, interaction patterns and documentation.
Ideated daily with PMs, engineers and stakeholders on scope, trade-offs and risks.

About

Hi, I'm ShreeRaj👋

I'm a product designer with 4 years of experience on complex, data-heavy SaaS for U.S. businesses, most of it on Surf's payroll, HR and banking products. I work as an individual contributor: research and usability testing first, then flows, IA and detailed UI, built with PMs and engineers and shipped in small, measurable steps.
