ATIF SAJJAD / THE STORY SO FAR
From cybersecurity to design.
From designing screens to building what’s next.
A LITTLE CONTEXT
What if the things we use every day could feel clearer, more thoughtful, and easier to use? That curiosity kept pulling me toward design. And eventually, toward building.
THE PATH / 2020 → NOW
Always a work in progress.THE FIRST CHAPTER
I started my BS in Cybersecurity in 2020. By the second semester, UI/UX design had caught my attention. I was learning how to protect systems, while becoming increasingly curious about how people experience them.
LEARNING IN THE REAL WORLD
Alongside my degree, I started taking design gigs on Fiverr and Upwork. Every project was a chance to turn curiosity into practice, work with real clients, and build a better eye for design. By 2023, that work had earned me top-rated status.
THE FIRST AGENCY
In April 2024, I launched Digilency, my first UI/UX design agency. It was a new chapter in taking responsibility for the work: building a service, shaping a process, and helping clients bring their ideas to life.
INSIDE A STARTUP
In November 2024, I left the agency to join an amazing startup, PayPipe. During my time there, I helped onboard more than 1,200 users to the platform. The company closed in February 2025, but the experience deepened my interest in building products people actually use.
A NEW DIRECTION
That February, I launched SaaSLandings.co, a service focused on building conversion-focused landing pages. It brought me the opportunity to work with amazing clients, including AccessHero, SmartPeak, and others. Design was becoming a bridge between a business and the people it wanted to reach.

I began creating products of my own, including an accessibility plugin. The work expanded beyond how something looks into how it works, who it helps, and what it takes to bring it into the world.
THE CHAPTER I’M IN
I’m now a co-founder, design engineer, and product lead at Closingly. We’re getting close to our beta launch, bringing design, engineering, and product thinking into one connected effort.
