Keka HR

Product Designer

2022 - Present

As part of Keka’s Design team, I focus on building purposeful, fast-to-use experiences for thousands of users across Hire ATS and Analytics.

I work across the full design flow clarifying requirements, shaping direction, and delivering features ready for release.

The case studies shared below are short and direct, spotlighting the problem we tackled and the solution that strengthened the product.

Candidate Experience

An end-to-end view of the hiring journey that surfaces key updates, reduces friction, and gives candidates the clarity they need to move forward with confidence.

Candidate Pain Points

  • Candidates felt uncertain about their application progress

  • No clear view of upcoming interviews or pending tasks.

  • Confusion around offer acceptance and joining timelines

  • Repeated follow-ups with recruiters to confirm status

  • A poor first impression of the company’s hiring experience

AI Powered Attrition Storyboard

A visual dashboard that helps organizations uncover patterns behind employee exits empowering managers to identify causes, spot trends, and take timely action.

Manager Pain Points

  • Attrition data was scattered across reports with no clear narrative.

  • Managers lacked context to understand why employees were leaving.

  • Insights were too static, making it hard to track changing trends.

  • Teams needed a single, visual source of truth to act quickly and reduce turnover.

Candidate Self Schedule

Making Interview Scheduling Effortless for Recruiters & Candidates

Recruiter Pain Points

  • Scheduling requires aligning two busy calendars: candidate and interviewer

  • Interviewers often forget to update their availability, creating bottlenecks

  • Recruiters spend excessive time coordinating reschedules

  • Email based communication causes delays and confusion

  • Candidates lack autonomy and feel dependent on the recruiter for every small update

Passion Projects

Outside my core product work, I explore ideas that push me to think differently, prototype faster, and design with more clarity. These projects show how I approach problems when I’m free to follow my instincts.
