About Andres Clavijo
I’m a Product Design Leader with 13+ years of experience building scalable digital systems across SaaS and mobile platforms.I joined Hourly as the first designer and built the product experience from the ground up. Scaling design through rapid growth to a 70+ person organization and eventual acquisition. I’ve led UX strategy in close partnership with executive leadership, shaping roadmap direction across payroll, compliance, and workforce management systems.My work spans system governance, onboarding transformation, and multi-role platform design—reducing friction, improving clarity, and strengthening user trust at scale.As AI becomes increasingly embedded in digital products, I leverage AI-assisted research and workflow acceleration while maintaining a strong focus on responsible system design and operational integrity.
