Sarah McGarry

A non-conformist who is always out to challenge the expected, and will work tirelessly to find the best possible unique solution for her clients. As an NCIDQ certified and award winning designer with nearly 20 years of experience, Sarah provides expertise with all aspects of design, strategy and project management. She’s had a passion for design since childhood - involved in the arts throughout school and “growing up” at furniture showrooms alongside her mom who was a residential decorator. Today, Sarah sees opportunities in every challenge and thrives as a creative problem solver. She wakes up thinking about big ideas and falls asleep thinking about design details. Sarah is passionate about giving back to the design community, by also working as the Director of the Interior Design program at CU Denver, hoping to shape the next generation of designers and architects. Prior to founding Clic Design Studio, Sarah was the Workplace Sector Lead and Principal with Stantec leading design for a wide range of commercial projects.
