$100M+ in Clients Revenue with High-converting Landing Pages, Websites, and Apps | Founder of UIFry & Xeon Agency ($1.2M/Y) 👉 DM to work with me!

Founder of Cigul. My journey from a freelancer to an agency owner generating $1.2M per year has been an exciting adventure filled with learning and growth.

My Story:

Back in 2014, I went to Australia for my bachelor's in IT. Despite the formal education, I realized that real-world experience was where the true learning happened. After working with top-tier agencies in Australia for three years, I moved to New York in 2021.

I began my freelancing journey as a UI designer in 2018, leveraging platforms like Upwork and Fiverr. Through dedication and strategic efforts, I built my solo service business and started making $100K/year within 12 months. By 2020, the workload had increased significantly, prompting me to hire my first full-time employee. 

Today, Cigul boasts a team of 40+ exceptional designers, helping us generate $950K/year in the UI/UX and Web Design domains. Additionally, I grew my Instagram community to over 50K followers in just six months at @zeeuiux.

Why Work with Me?

- Proven track record in generating $100M+ in client revenue
- Expertise in creating high-converting landing pages, websites, and apps
- High-speed delivery - just take 24 hours to a website

Let’s Collaborate: Whether you’re looking to transform your digital presence or need guidance in the UI/UX field, Cigul here to help. Connect with me via DM or email at work@szeeshan.com.

Most experienced UX designers aren’t stuck because they’re bad.
They’re stuck because they’re fixing the wrong thing.

Hiring doesn’t break because of effort.
It breaks when the signal is unclear.

You feel skilled.
You feel seasoned.
But something feels off.

Interviews slow down.
Opportunities dry up.
Your story no longer sounds like you.

You start wondering:

→ Is it my portfolio
→ Is my experience enough
→ Why am I not getting traction
→ What am I missing

Here’s the truth.

Your portfolio is rarely the bottleneck.
Misalignment is.

The role changed.
The market changed.
Or you changed.

When direction drifts, the market reads you as unclear.
That’s when ghosting starts.

So most designers double down on the wrong moves:

→ rebuilding portfolios
→ rewriting resumes
→ applying harder on job boards

That’s chasing proof.

Experienced designers don’t need more proof.
They need positioning.

That’s where I come in.

I help experienced UX and product designers fix the real bottleneck.
Not by polishing artifacts.
Not by grinding applications.
But by restoring clarity and trust.

I’ve been on both sides.

→ 15 years in UX
→ Former Head of Product Design
→ Hired globally across the US, UK, Europe, and APAC
→ Designed sourcing tools used by millions of recruiters worldwide
→ Coached experienced designers into aligned, well paid roles

We start with clarity.

We get clear on who you are now.
Then we design the next chapter around that.

We map:

→ your strengths
→ your values
→ your season of life
→ the work where you do your best thinking

Then we move you off the front door treadmill
applying, waiting, ghosting

and into Backdoor Hiring:

Clarity → Conversation → Trust

This replaces job boards and cold applications.

This is how experienced designers get hired.
This is how roles move toward you.

A few outcomes:

→ Jeff landed a $200K+ Senior UX role after a long layoff
→ Shaun stepped into a $150K+ UX Lead role after burnout
→ Lance went from zero replies to a UX Lead role in 30 days

They weren’t broken.
They were misaligned.

Once the bottleneck was fixed, everything moved.

If your job search feels off, start here.

Your story isn’t over.
It’s shifting.
