$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?

IDEATE. INNOVATE. CREATE. 

I’m Tina Gada ( She/ Her ), a senior user experience designer from Dallas who is passionate about enhancing user experience in the fintech industry.

Transforming user experience to drive business success - increased customer retention, revenue growth, and profitability. Spearheaded high-impact redesign at Vanguard, boosting product usage and satisfaction.  

I am an industry thought leader and public speaker and mentored 15K+ young professionals globally. For my work advocating inclusive, empowering technology, I have been ranked a top 1% UX mentor.

I was drawn to user experience design early on by experiences of complex systems failing people I care about. Seeing loved ones struggle through humiliation or difficulty accessing services has instilled the personal values I bring to design - it has to put human needs first.  

My vision is for ethical, transparent AI and autonomous systems that uplift society. Technology built with care and conscience amplifies inclusion, protects privacy, and supports mental health. I want to inspire the next generation of diverse designers to realize this future with me.

Passionate about purpose-driven solutions that support human needs first, including pioneering Citi Preferred Name, supporting 32% of transgender users. A frequent contributor on subjects like accessible banking, ethical AI, and technology for social good.

I focus on the economic fundamentals daily - strategically increasing revenue, shareholder value, customer lifetime value, and retention at billion-dollar corporations. Still, positive user impact matters most to me. If you prioritize user experience and human-centered design, let’s connect!
