They fit buyers who can work at $150-199/hr with a $50,000+ Clutch floor. This listing is not ClaySys Technologies.

Clay was a great team to work with. Always responsive and open to collaborate. Really enjoyed working with them. Their visual design and UX designers are top notch. Some of the best in the business!
It was a pleasure working with Clay. Their team is on a whole other level from a design and UX perspective. They helped our company design our new app from scratch, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. I really enjoyed collaborating with the Clay team because they iterated quickly, were responsive to our feedback, and overall managed the project very professionally. I cannot wait to work with Clay on another project!
