Senior🎓
Top SchoolClayton Hopkins is a Senior Product Designer and UX Architect with 10 years of experience building 0→1 products for early-stage B2B, enterprise, and civic-tech teams from Portland, Maine. He blends hands-on design, user research, and design-systems practice to ship AI-native and data-driven workflows—most recently prototyping AI-first solutions at WEX and leading product design for a Techstars startup that turned computer-vision hardware into a web SaaS. Clayton has led design at scale for missions ranging from the DNC’s voter-protection platform to a Series A insurtech acquisition, often turning discovery insights into measurable conversion and retention gains. Comfortable as a founding designer and interim head of product, he’s built teams, run hundreds of usability sessions, and translated complex domain needs (DME, utilities, insurance) into practical, testable products. He pairs a liberal arts economics background with immersive training in front-end and UX, and is known for creating design foundations that persist across multiple product iterations.
