About
Most teams want AI in their product, but few know where it actually belongs. I am Yuriy, Founder of Cieden. We are a specialized Product Design Agency and UX Engineering partner sitting at the intersection of High-End Aesthetics, Business Intelligence, and Technical Architecture.
We have moved beyond the "design-only" model. We merge Senior UI UX Design with Front-End Engineering to ship functional prototypes in code (React, Next.js, Convex, Vercel) while traditional agencies are still polishing static Figma files. You get the output of a designer and a developer in one workflow, eliminating handoff friction, coordination overhead, and UX debt by default.
Core Value Proposition:
◾️ Agentic UI & AI Orchestration. We design interfaces for Autonomous Agents, Multi-Agent Systems, and Agent Orchestrators. We specialize in Human-in-the-loop (HITL) workflows, making complex AI logic steerable and transparent.
◾️ Generative UI & LLM Integration. Expertise in building custom wrappers and interfaces for GPT-4o, GPT-5, Claude 3.5/4, and Gemini. We create Generative UI that adapts dynamically to model outputs.
◾️ Rapid Prototyping & MVP Velocity. We ship clickable, code-based prototypes for user validation in 4 weeks. Our record includes a multimodal banking MVP for 200M+ users in just 2.5 weeks.
◾️ UX Engineering & Design Systems. We deliver Design Systems in Code, managing Design Tokens, Storybook documentation, and Chromatic UI testing. We commit UI fixes directly to your GitHub/GitLab repository.
Our Stack:
◾️ Design: Figma, FigJam, Claude Design
◾️ AI: Cursor.ai, Claude Code, ElevenLabs, AG-UI, Next.js, Convex, OpenAI, Gemini, Perplexity
◾️ Design systems in code: Unlike others, we do UX Engineering, so we provide components in React code, create storybooks, and set up chromatic UI testing; we also commit UI fixes.
