Clic Design Studio

What Clic Design Studio does

Clic Design Studio is a women-owned, Denver-headquartered commercial interior architecture and design firm founded in 2022 by Sarah McGarry and Rene Stremel, both former Principals at the global design firm Stantec. The studio delivers full-service interior design across the entire project lifecycle, including programming and visioning, schematic design, design development, construction documentation, construction administration, furniture coordination, change management, design strategy consulting, and MEP and structural engineering coordination, with 3D rendering used to visualize designs before implementation.

The firm operates a deliberately boutique, principal-led service model, intentionally limiting the number of projects accepted each year in order to provide direct principal access and high-touch engagement on every engagement. Its customer base is concentrated in Colorado and skewed toward enterprise tenants and professional services firms, with named work spanning law firms (Haynes Boone, Taft Denver, Kutak Rock, Williams Weese, Harris Law, GPMBF), corporate and professional services clients (Civitas, Cornerstone, Schnitzer West), coworking (Park Coworking), showroom (Metropolitan Floors), sports/entertainment (Mile Hi Pickleball), and non-profit/community (2nd Home Community). Project sizes range from approximately 1,400 SF showrooms to multi-floor 58,500 SF law firm headquarters.

Revenue is generated on a project-fee basis tied to scope, size, and complexity, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The firm has no external institutional investment or parent company, distributes services through direct principal-led sales and referrals within the Denver commercial real estate and design community, and is supported by a recurring partner ecosystem of contractors (Boots Construction, i2 Construction, Vulcan), engineering firms (TaskPM, Columbine Engineering, CMTA), lighting designers, and specialty vendors (Projex, Merchants). Headcount stands at six employees comprising the two co-founder principals and four interior designers, and the firm describes itself as 'award-winning' with a self-stated more than three decades of combined principal experience.
